Need a bit of advice about how to sort finances post split up. We have no property or savings and rent privately. DH works full time and I work part time (30 hours). I think he is going to split up with me. Currently not talking.
I feel ok a bit of a catch 22 financially. I’ve signed up to the local Council housing website but don’t have high priority and it let me apply but did pop up with a statement saying I am entitled to stay in the marital home with the children if I am on the tenancy. I won’t be able to get another private rental as don’t earn enough to pass the affordability criteria and don’t have money for a deposit/first months rent. We took out a loan for my car but I won’t be able to pay that by myself so will have to give up a car which means I need to move from our village to the town where the older 2 go to school. Possibly also move youngest as he goes to another village school and won’t be entitled to transport.
I assume I can’t apply for any financial help until I have moved out but I’ve heard it can takes weeks/months to get sorted meaningni won’t be able to move out in the first place!
Anyone been through this before and can give me advice on the best way to do things/what to sort first?
Thanks
