H and I have been married for 13 years, largely unhappily.
We would have separated many years ago were it not for our two kids, 10 and 7. We have not shared a room for over 6 years and we have no physical or emotional affection whatsoever.
We wish separate formally.
I do not wish to stay in the family home.
It is hard for me to manage with my mobility issues
One of my children is very unhappy and being unsupported at school, with no hope of improvement.
Ideally, we would rent out the family house and rent in the new location to be sure it will be successful before we sell the house (in case the children and I want to return there). Once this house is sold, there wIll not be another one due to money. The children and I would go to the new location alone and H would stay with a colleague in town and visit at weekends.
OR - I would need to claim HB AS A SINGLE PARENT to pay the rent whilst we sell the house. Can H visit to see the children and stay overonce weekly? ( he wil be living nd working 50m away)
