Help please! DH & I are splitting up and I have no clue about what I need to do re money

[Hogu]

We've had problems for a couple of years and I've just reached the end. I can't cope with him and how he treats me anymore so I've asked him to leave.
Problem is that in a stay at home mum with a 2 year old.
DH works for my dad and pays the bills & mortgage etc.

What am I entitled to and is there a way of getting money as he said he's not going to give me any. Mainly to be awkward and also a way of trying to get em to change my mind about splitting etc.

I'm worried about money and the mortgage etc. I don't even know where to start or go for for help.

This calculator is pretty spot on

He will have to pay you child maintenance, and given that your dad is his boss, that'll make getting the right figures easier. Do watch out for him demanding 50/50 time with your dc to avoid paying child maintenance

You'll be able to get help from universal credit, and you'll also need to start looking for a job. Any assets (incl house, pensions, shares, savings) will be put into the marital pot to be shared between you. You're likely to get a larger share if you're the main carer and on a lower income.

yes, childcare and a job would be my first thoughts

as well as the mortgage. and then child support.
