Universal credits- splitting a joint claim

I will be telling the job centre that me and my husband are separating in a few days. How does this work? Will I get an advanced payment at all? I'm worried I will be left with no money, but it needs to be done. I am currently unemployed.

you’ll be entitled to a new claim advance, if you and your husband never already had one

We had one a couple of years ago but I believe it has all been paid back.
