Hi all
Am I being unreasonable to want to move back to the UK after 12 years of living in France ? We've got 3 children aged 10, 8 & 5. They were born here (Normandy) and are completely bilingual. My reasons are :
- husband (plumber) has transferable skills
- the kids are not yet at secondary school age (1 year to go for eldest)
- we're worried about long-term issues eg cost of healthcare, employability of kids etc.
We've worked hard on doing up our house here, but even if we can sell it, we'd only have approx. 80k.
It feels like 'now or never' for us.
We haven't paid UK tax or NI since 2004.
Would we get child benefit ?
Where would we stand re. housing ?
If I could get work eg caring, teaching assistant etc., would I need to document where I've lived as a record so I can get a CRB ? This could be a nightmare with paperwork here
Thanks in advance for any advice / experiences. My mind's been all over the place since last Friday, we never expected the Brexit result
