name changed obviously. been living in France for 10 years and not worked outside the home in that time apart from english classes on the black. my DH, who is not french but European, has been the sole breadwinner during this time. We have 3 DC. Been having alot of problems between us lately and realised I do not know my options on separation here in France.
I do not exist here really, I am listed on his carte vitale, his mutelle, his social security number etc. If we split up I know in the UK i could expect to receive child maintenence etc but would I be entitled to here. I stopped working to move abroad for his work and naturally he has progressed well while I seem to have become completely dependent without noticing.
Feeling very ignorant and stupid. We have just moved and have a big mortgage, could not sell at the moment, can not afford for him to move out. Although I speak good french my written is terrible and only worked in offices in the uk. Just feeling a bit trapped and what to know realistically what my options are.
