I am financially stuck in a loveless, miserable marriage. I have been so unhappy for so long. Our children are 11 and 9, I work part time earning minimum wage with quite a bit of debt. I had hoped to stay until the kids were older and we were better off financially but I don’t know how much longer I can bare it.
I need to start preparing to separate but I don’t know where to begin. Has anyone else been in this position and got out? What steps should I take? I have no pension, no savings, nothing. I’m so scared about my future. He is set to have a very secure financial future, it all feels so unfair and I’m so lost. Would love some help/ guidance from anyone who has been there and done it.

Work full time ?

what assets do you have ? They will be split.
what does he earn? What child arrangements would there be?

@millymollymoomoo I have asked to up my hours at work, we don’t currently have any full time positions available. We have no assets, we rent our property. He has a high position in financial services and would struggle take care of the children 50/50 but I know he would want that regardless.

Look for ft elsewhere

look into what benefits you might qualify for including housing benefit
