My friend and her husband are splitting up, and she needs to know where she stands financially and legally. She has nowhere to go and wants to take the children with her - but she doesn't have a job. They own a house, they have some equity in it but she doesn't know how much.
Our local estate agents won't take people on benefits without a guarantor, the council housing list is a mile long, and he isn't abusive. What options does she have?
