How can I unlink my residence permit from my husband's?

Question

I am a housewife whose residence permit is linked to my husband's. We both have 19d and his has a supplementary paper for Blue Card (I think). Is there an option where I can make my residence permit independent from his (in the event of separation)?

If there is such an option, what should I need to do moving forward? Will I still be okay for Permanent Residence?

Thanks.

Hi @StrawberryPink, Firstly, are you sure that your permit is linked to your husbands? Does it state anything on your permit about 'Familienangehörige'? Do you have a third-level academic or vocational qualification? With that information I can better answer your question.
