I have been with my fiance for 10 years now. We have a 2.5 year old lb. The trouble is he is cheating on me. I found out about his cheating a year ago and we talked and he promised he had ended it and begged me o give him another chance. For the sake of our son, I did stay. I know now though that his affair never ended and he was just a bit more clever in hiding it, but he has started relaxing again and made mistakes leading me to find out. I haven't told him i know because I want to sort out what I am able to do for me and my son first. I currently work nightshift but wouldn't be able to continue with this when I leave. I don't know how I would cope financially if I quit work.
Any advice welcome
thank you

I think you would get Tax Credits. FWIW I am no worse off as a lone parent. I did worry about this initially. And I am happier away from XH's f*wittery. You would be too I think.

An appointment with Citizens Advice Bureaux, or googling Tax Credits would give you some idea. You might get Housing Benefit also.

No use Mini?

Start looking for a daytime job, even if its only 16 hours tax credits will top you up and help with childcare costs.
