Was discussing this with my friend the other night, there must be others like me out there...
I'm newly separated but we have very young children and neither of us can afford to move our; if we sold up I wouldn't be able to get back on the property ladder with the equity I would have and I wouldn't be able to afford to rent either unless I can claim benefits, which I wouldn't be able to because of the capital in my account from selling up (new rules under universal credit). I can only work part time so I am bugger

Whoops! Posted too soon...

Where was I? Yes I can't move and he is not going anywhere either.

I hear a lot of advice on here telling people up LTB but if there's no way has anybody got shy tips for living together without losing your mind?

Why can you only work part time? Surely the childcare should be shared 50/50 in the event of a split?

I have 2 very young preschoolers and it would cost too much to put them both in childcare so we have been working p/t and getting tax credits.
