non-EU spouse and the CDS?

[Cricket]

Hello everyone!

As an EU passport holder I apparently no longer need a CDS to live and work here. Great! The problem is (no offense, honey) that I have a non-EU husband. And nobody seems to know what to do with him. Finally, the prefecture here in Paris informed me that I MUST get a CDS so that he can be issued one.

Trouble is, he has a job (long distance freelance work) and I don't yet. Since we don't have much money in the bank, I'm worried that if we go to the prefecture, we'll be turned down and told to leave.

If anyone can offer any info or personal experience with the non-EU spouse situation, I'd be very grateful!

Thanks.

I'll wait and see what kind of responses you get before jumping in.

The kennels referred to is in Manche (50 - Normandy), as is Paws Awhile, which I recommended earlier in this thread. Sorry it's too far from Dordogne, but I'm sure there must be a kennels there.
