Help please

Hi everyone, I am totally new here. My friend recommended this website to me.
I am currently going through divorce process, my ex signed the documents.
I applied for universal credit even tho we still live together but he won’t pay any money into joint account. I work only part time but want to increase my hours. I want to send my son who is 2,5 to the nursery for more days but at the moment I am not able to effort it and his dad won’t support me either.
What can I apply for, what sort of help with I get as a single mother ? My family is in Poland I am here on my own, with friends around.
When it comes for financial agreement I know my ex will seek some professional advice but I cannot afford it myself.
Is there anything you advise me to do?
I will much appreciate your help

See if this might help you - https://iamlip.com/help-guides/child-arrangements/ it'll help you in the process of sorting out child maintenance so your partner can help take care of this children financially. I used this when I couldn't afford a solicitor so it made my life easier in terms of telling me what I could do and helped me understand what was happening.
I think you'll need box 12 for that but see if any of the others might help you.

Thank you so much! I will have a look
