To wonder how the hell do I afford to leave?

[Sayhellotothesun]

3 DCs, renting, no savings or assets. I’ve been a SAHM for a few years as DCs are young.

How do I afford to leave/stay if he will leave? Rent currently is £595 in a 2 bed terrace.

I just want out of this marriage but I feel trapped by money. Im scared I wont be able to support my children.

Im also worried he wont leave as he has refused before. Hes not a danger to me in any way, just in denial.

Well I absolutely don’t mean to sound flippant but have you actually sat down and calculated how much income you would need to survive. Have you researched what assistance you would be entitled to from the government and your partner? Because I don’t see how anyone else is going to be able to answer this question. Unless your partner is very well paid I would personally be looking for a job but it’s hard to know whether this is worthwhile for you without knowing your skill set , potential earnings and childcare costs etc.

I'm sorry I don't have any personal experience with this. My only advice is to NOT make yourself voluntarily homeless as this seems to close a lot of doors (experienced by a single friend of mine)
No savings or assets would mean if you found an alternative home you would qualify for rent, council tax support etc

Have you looked into which benefits you'd be able to claim, including housing benefit to help with rent? CAB have benefits advisors, speak to them & get some information.
How about support from family, is there anyone who'd be able to help?
