how do i leave my husband

[1candy]

I have been married for 5 years and been with my husband 11 years we have 2 children 3, 5 yrs and i am not in a happy marriage by any means, I want to move out with the girls i just dont know how to go about it. we live in a rural area and are living in a tied house with my husbands job so it would be me that had to go. things havent been right for a year or so and enough is enough he says he loves me but i no longer love him. i do everything with the children and feel like a single parent most of the time but just cant stay here as its making me so unhappy. Hes not a bad man he just preffers to be doing his own thing rather than spending time with me and our girls. I currently work part time but dont have any savings and wouldnt know where to start with renting a property and would i be able to afford it? can anyone please help me i just dont know where to start and i cant go on like this.

thankyou all i have looked on entiatledto.com and am amazed how much i would be entitaled too and i think that i sould be able to manage on what they have given me for my total enititlement so how do i go about getting these benifts do i have to move out first before i make a claim as most landlords want a bond and 2 months rent a total of £1558 is this normal practice? or do i need to try and find that amount? do they back pay how long does it normally take for a claim dont know how it works can anyone help

gingerbread.org fantastic thankyou for suggesting that site and very helpful understanding people :)

Do try your local council' housing advice team. Any house it supplies will meet reasonable standards, have a reasonable rent and you will have greater security of tenure. The council will also be able to tell you how and where to claim benefits.

Macmillan Cancer Support also has benefits advice.
