Do they rent a house out? Do they share a house with other people?
I have been doing lots of sums regarding the finances of separation. Absolutely frightening. Obviously it would be cheaper to live in a shared house but wouldn't this make having my LB over tricky - although not impossible.
On the other hand, I could rent a small 1 or 2 bedroom house out.
Does your ex share a house? Do they have a 1 bedroom house and share the bedroom? Or are they in a poky bedsit?
It is cr*p - by trying to develop a place of my own to have my son come over too, there is less money available to support him in both houses. Or I could sacrifice this and enable him to have a decent upbringing with his mum.
Experiences welcome.
