Hello, I don't know if anyone has been in a similar position. STBXH and I have recently separated and are no longer living together. I have no income at the moment because I was a SAHM before I started divorce proceedings. Decree nisi has already been granted. I want to apply for child tax credits but the online calculator says that I won't be entitled. STBXH was a high earner (>£200k) and used me as an employee to get tax relief but I never actually did any work for his company and I never received any income either as it went into his business account which I had no access to. When we were married it was fine because we had a joint account I could use but now we are completely cut off and I have only a little savings. He has given me my P45 also. Would he get in any trouble if I inform them about this and is there any way I can claim these benefits as we are really struggling at the moment. Thanks for any advice you can offer.
