Complicated situation. In a nutshell, I work 3 days a week, don't earn a lot, 500 a month ish. DH currently on jobseekers. We get tax credits etc and are basically managing on a mix of that, my salary, some savings, and fresh air. If I asked him to leave, would I get any more money? I could increase my hours a week but would still not earn a huge amount. We are in a privately rented house and I would hate to have to move the DD's but our rent is quite high, would we be forced to move somewhere cheaper? Realistically he could not pay maintenance, but I am assuming that the loss of the jobseekers he gets would be taken into account if you see what I mean? We do have some capital but it is all tied up in pension type accounts, not actual cash. Might go to see Citizens advice but was just wondering....thanks.
