Brexit: Is my non-EU retired spouse protected?
I am Australian and live with my British wife in France. We have been here as a retired couple since 2014. Is my residency safe in the Brexit deal?

The Withdrawal Agreement says the deal applies to these people as long as they were living in the EU country with the British person before the end of the transition period and continue to do so, or even if they lived outside the host state but the relationship existed at the time.
Under certain conditions, future children adopted or born after the period can join the Briton in France, but future spouses do not have an automatic right to do so.
