Hello - I need to know what my financial rights are.
I may leave my partner and we have a young child together. We are not married but have lived together 4 years. He pays the mortgage and all the bills. My name is not on anything - mortgage or bills - as he wants it that way. I am a stay-at-home mum and do piecemeal work.
I want to stay in the area but I don't think I will be able to afford to as have no family around ... which means going back to where my parents are, which I don't want to do. But I will get help with childcare if I do that and will be able to work full/part time.
What help do single mother's get with rent for example? If anything. Does it depend on whether you work? As we are not married what would DP have to contribute housing wise?
I am scared silly about it all.
