Husband leaving, advice needed

Apologies for posting in AIBU but I need the traffic. Don't tend to get as much luck in other topics.

'D'H has decided he is leaving, viewing a property tomorrow with a view to move out of our rented home ASAP. I am currently on maternity leave from full time employment with a 12 week old baby. Also have a 3 year old. The children will stay with me. My main question is - does anyone know what I may be entitled to? My money is about to drop from full pay to SMP in the next few weeks. I can't survive on this much. I have done a calculator online which has given me a figure, but does that take into account SMP? I have tried to speak to citizens advice but no available appointments online or F2F. Without making this thread about why we are splitting I'm not sure I can rely on maintenance from him. He's the director of a limited company and I'm almost certain he will fiddle his wages to pay me the bare minimum.

I just need to know I'll be able to survive until I RTW in Dec/January. Any other advice much appreciated.
