Moneybags help during desperation

[Em4891]

Hi , myself and oh have decided to separate after several months and have tried to make things work for the sake of the children but , failed miserably .
Need some advice when to inform tax credits and also the fact we have a mortgage but , jointly .
He has agreed to help the mortgage as he will be living with his mum .
Where does that put me with the tax credits as technically he's still on it with me but , doesn't live with me .
Any help would be great as I'm worried obviously money wise

Meant to say Money help . Damm predictive texting

You inform tax credits the day he moves out and you open a single claim. As far as the mortgage goes then I think they give you a while to sort things out. I guess one of you will need to buy the other out. I'm not sure whether it will look suspicious or count if you still have a joint mortgage a few years down the line.

Oh said he wants the children to stay in the family home .
It's such a draining process already 😕
