Money help.

Hi unlike most people during COVID 19 I had increased work hours I was doing 37+ hours a week last month my hours dropped to 30 I could still live with that next month however my hours drop to 22 a week. I've searched everywhere for an extra job or a new one but I don’t qualify for any in my area. I gave all benefits I was eligible for over to my ex-husband when he lost his job he hasn’t managed to find a new one in the last 18 months and is unwilling to help in any way. We have 50/50 custody but I buy our daughter everything as he claims he can’t afford it. My current husband has 3 children 2 of which he hadn’t seen in 8 years but their mum has now allowed access and has hit him with large child support claim. Is there anything I can do to earn extra money I sign up for mystery shopper but not many things in my area and iv tried the survey things but I spent hours doing them and made ten pence.

Cleaners round here charge c. £20 ph and at least half are fully booked up and can't take any more clients. Builders round here charge more than that as a day rate. Things like surveys won't help majorly top up your income to the level you need. I would suggest he talks to someone like CAP to see if he can get any support with the loans.

My husband is in electrician and sometimes for bigger jobs sub contracts ,he pays them between £200.00 and £250.00 per day ,looks like your husband has to charge more for his trade .
