Need advice on marriage breakdown

[Star85]

Hi hoping someone can help me. I currently live in England, after 10 yrs my marriage is under strain and I want to look at my options to leave and go home (Scotland).
How do I get my own place when I can't afford it? I have 2 children youngest being 3 so can't work full time yet :-(( how do I move away from my married quarter? Would the army assist in me going or am I literally kicked to the kerb!!! I know about reconciliation periods and 93 days notice, it's not that I'm worried about! It's me leaving here, finding a new home and being finanally stable for my children, any advice is appreciated :-)) x

You should be able to get onto the council housing list in the area you want to move to if you can show you have family ties there, rather than just fancy moving there, and get a letter from the MOD to show theyre going to make you homeless, which is essentially what will happen ( this gives you a higher priority or more points or however they work such things these days. Contact the council in the area you want to move it and ask therefor advice. You could also ask your Welfare Office if you feel you can talk to them ( they're not all fabulous unfortunately).

Good luck flower.

I know this sounds silly but by doing it that way could I end up on a really rough estate?? ??
I think I need to go to the welfare, see if they can advise! Thank you for ur reply x

It's not silly hun, you don't want to move your children into the Bronx. I think you have to bid on house though, so you get some control over where you live. Housing agencies could be another option.

I should warn you that I've gain all my knowledge on social housing from watching crap, late night tele programmes on the subject when DH is away...
