I'm pregnant and have one DC, not married but DP wants me out. I'm a SAHM and have no money of my own. I have family but couldn't stay with them. Where am I meant to go? My head is all over, I just want to sit and cry :(

Keep calm OP.

  1. Contact your council re housing or the charity Shelter for advice on where to live.

  2. Cancel any joint tax credit claim & set up a new one in your name only. You need to have your own bank account. If you don't already claim tax credits then phone them & ask to make a new claim.

  3. Make an appointment with the CAB to see if you have any joint assets & to get specific advice on what you do next & if you claim for any state benefits.

Where do you live at the moment, who owns or rents the house?

Agree with the PP and I'm sorry you're in this horrible situation. Please don't panic and do anything in haste. You may not be able to stay with your family long-term but would they be supportive short-term in helping you to get away from your exP? Do you have friends you can ask for help? If your exP is being unreasonable you might want to talk to Womens Aid 0808 2000 247
