If they thought you were definately committing fraud you would be interviewed under caution and not in your home.
Answer the question truthfully but I would listen to what all are telling you including your ex mother in law.
He is not providing for his children.
He doesn't tell you where he is.
He has no job nor keeps one.
His own family say he won't change.
Thank god you are able to claim benefits. I would keep him at arms length. Wails of 'but I love him' won't put food on the table or a roof over your head!!
