Ready to leave

[notsohothotchoc]

I posted this in relationships but didn't get much response, so posting here for traffic.

Finally decided to leave my partner.
His attitude and behaviour towards me is getting worse and he is happy for me to take the brunt of everything.

So I'm ready to leave but need to be clever about it. He owns the house. And the big things in it so would need to start again for me. I have no savings and terrible credit (no thanks to him and more fool me).

Has anyone done this this way? How did you do it? When I do have somewhere to go I want to be prepared as we have two small children.

Are you married?
Do you work?

@Waveysnail no not married but yes I do work part time

Consult a solicitor.

Do you need Women’s Aid?

@Pipandmum why? We are not married and the house isn't in my name

Are you doing anything now to build up your credit score - do you have any credit in your own name that you are paying off reliably - phone contract, personal loan, mortgage, even credit card paid off in full every month?

Can you increase your hours at work? Or, what could you do now to increase your career/earning prospects in the future?
