My husband and i are separating- he's back at his mum's place and we're selling the house a.s.a.p. - there's no way i could have afforded to stay on there and have had to leave job because it was a struggle to juggle childcare when ex 'helped' out let alone on my own- my asd son can't be left with anyone else.
The thing is, I'll be lucky enough to have some money left after house sale because of the increase in prices - after we have cleared all our debts.
So do I just use the money to pay for private renting until it drops right down enough to apply for council help?
Have any of you been in a similar situation?
I get so confused as don't know the system. i've got to dig out wage slips, bank statements,contact of employment, childminder contract,etc for 3 months because tax credits people are wanting them, and trying to get the house sorted for sale (ex won't help) and apply for stat assessment for my just dianosed son - everything happening at once and head feels ready to explode!My youngest not at pre-school yet so am keeping her entertained while doing diy!
Sorry for rant but am left to sort it all as usual- main reason for marriage ending-and don't want to screw up!
