Where do I go?

To cut a long story short dp and I are not getting on at all. We are having counselling and we are only having our 3rd session at the moment but all he moans about is paying for it and seeing no results.
I am sick of the arguing and am tempted to take my children and leave as he has made it clear on occassions that the house is in his name and he refuses to go. How considerate of him eh I'm the one with the children if we seperate and I have to leave.
But where do I go, my family have no room, I am not a victim of domestic violence so I can't go to a refuge. Has anyone been in this situation like me and went to there local council and what happened? I don't want to stay if the councilling isn't helping but I want to know all my options.
Thanks for any feedback I am really unhappy at the moment.

a hostel might be an option, im not sure other than that but hopefully someone with more experience will be along soon. and good luck!

I would give your local housing dept a ring. Is there any way your partner may consider going once the dust has settled? Does he have anywhere he can go?

I think - but others will know better, that you have to go to the council office and say you are homeless.

They will then place you in a hostel or other emergency housing. You will then be a priority for council accommodation. Depends where you live how it works though. I only know from a friend who was in a similar position in Greenwich.

HTH and Good luck x

Go to your local authority and make a homelessness application. State that your partner is throwing you out and you have no other accommodation available to you. You have young children so should be a priority.
