i have not been happy with oh for a while now and I feel that it's coming to ahead and we need to separate. I am a Sahm with mo personal income and no family support. I have 2 Dds aged 2 and 4. Oldest is due to start school in Sept. I just don't know how to go about leaving. I don't think I will have a choice other than benefits in the short term. I don't have a penny. The house is mortgaged but I am not on the mortgage.

Is your relationship that irrepairable that you cant work things through?

You can get half an hour's free legal advice from some solicitors.

I honestly done know. I do love him but we are making each other miserable. He is stressed at work and I sometimes find it hard with Dds and we just takenit out on each other. I could wait until dd1 starts school and dd2 goes to her grant nursery place. I would them be able to work and it might take pressure off us but as I sit here now it feels like we are too far apart to ever come together gain

Talk to your partner/husband in the first instance. If you love someone it would be unfair to call time without giving them at least some warning or a chance to turn things around. If your lack of financial independence bothers you (and it would me) then there's nothing to stop you seeking work right now or getting a regular allowance from your partner. As for home-ownership, if you are married then it is automatically assumed that you jointly own the property. If not, the rules are slightly different.

My H walked out with no warning or chance to change things so I would echo above and say talk don't just end it ..
