*WARNING* COHABITING PARENTS

I never realised how easy it was to be made homeless. As I know many people do I was cohabiting with my partner and my name was not on any rental agreement or bills so there was no proof I made any financial contribution to the home which in turn lead me to have no legal rights to my only home. Also because my ex partner is on the birth certificates of the children and his sole name on everything connected to the house because of this the law has made me homeless and taken all my parental rights from me. I have to find a house (minimum 2 beds) so I can have any custody of my children. social housing wont provide a two bed without the custody of the children and I cant get custody without a 2bed property. This is the law and the government putting me in a cycle of nothingness. I cant even get private rental because the landlords wont except housing benefits. If you are cohabiting or no someone who is either get out or get legal agreements. I didn't believe it would happen to me but here we are I have no money no where to live no access to my children and the only way to get my children back is to raise enough money to get myself somewhere to live. I need at least £3000 to secure a two bed private rental. That's a deposit first moths rent and 3 extra months rent to give me the time to sort all my benefits. Anyone with any idea or suggestion of any women's organisations that can help me?

Hi all, sorry to intrude but we are just posting to remind everyone that we at MNHQ can't know with 100% certainty that any poster is genuine, no matter who they are or how long they have been here. As frustrating as it is, we're not able to vouch for anyone here.

So we always ask everyone to remember that not everyone on the internet is who they say they are - and remind folk not to give more to another poster, either financially (in cash or gifts) or emotionally (in time or care and support) than they'd be prepared to lose if things went wrong.

Thanks
