How do I leave

[aijaine]

I want to leave my husband but I haven't told him, I have a three month old baby and we rent a place but he's the only one that works ,he didn't want me to get a job because he gets enough for the both of us, so I just look after the baby, I literally only have about 1000 pound savings and I have no family or friends I can stay with, I really want to leave him because he's a cheat but I have no money no job I can't just find my own place, he's a great dad and I wouldn't want to just take her away either , he's not a bad guy he's lovely before I found out he cheated but I always said I would never accept that so I could never stay with him, what would you do in my situation

I would ask him to think of his child and his childs mum's (you) welfare and help finance you into a new home. It's the least he could bloody do in my opinion. He may well say no and in that situation, you need to use the £1000 for the first months rent and deposit on a new place and claim universal credit and child maintenance then go back to work at some point, when your child goes to nursery most likely. UC will help with private rent as long as you are living in the house when you make the claim

Should have said living in the house or have signed a legal lease as they will need to see this

If one of you stays for the duration of the lease and both are currently on it, they will normally let the other person come off provided one of you can do the credit check alone. Getting the lease alone may be harder. See your local women's centre they may well be able to help. The fact that he is cheating and has suggested you don't work may be able to constitute control depending on why. Look after yourself.
