Marriage over

    My marriage is over. I have a young baby. My decision, but he doesn't care so I suppose you could say mutual.

    We rely wholly on my husband financially and I have nowhere else to go. I'd be happy to take our child and leave if er had somewhere to go. Can't expect him to leave because he pays the mortgage.

    I don't know where to start, but for the good of all of us it needs to end. The decision is made and no point trying to continue to sort it out, it's too far gone for that and we are all suffering, so I need some practical advice please.

    Talk to a solicitor would be the best advice you're going to get here.

    Have you started looking for work? Ideally you could be self sufficient as it will probably be very hard to manage on his salary to run two households.

    Speak to your local housing offices, they may be able to help you. Can you go to your parents or other relative?

    im sure you have seen the news about lack of local authority housing, affordable rents etc.

    so getting a place to stay is going to be a real battle. so assess your situation. Are you in a position where you can stay put and have an amicable relationship with your hubbie? If so you can start making plans and saving money. 1st thing to do would be to either get a job, or do a course with free childcare to get you back into the workforce with a skill you can sell.

    if you cannot stay put due to circumstances you can declare yourself homeless. You will likely be put up in a B&B and the waiting list is long. years.

    They only alternative to that is to have a friend or family member put you up. but because it may be for some time, you would have to be very careful getting into such an arrangement. then you can get out on the housing list.
