Deciding to separate and what happens now

So it’s been a rocky 2 years. DH and I together for 14 years and married for 6, we have an 11 year old together.
In a nutshell, we have both changed and steadily grown apart. He, the man who does bugger nothing about the house and I, do everything, pretty much.
We like different things in our lives. I’m very outdoorsy and he is very much, lazy. He likes to sleep in most days, whereas I am up with the lark getting DC up for school, etc etc etc...
In recent months he has been hard to communicate with, coming home from work in his non stressful but huge earning job! He disappears with his electronic devices and taps away for hours!
I am a head mess! Currently working self employed since resigning from a stressful situation at work.
I am earning very little for the last 5 weeks and struggling. Hoping to now get a secure job and have signed up with agencies and had a couple of interviews.

Waffle off...

We have decided this marriage isn’t working....

His name is on the mortgage, mine isn’t.

What are my rights to staying in our home, currently not receiving any financial help, including child benefit.
Can we be separated and temp live under the same roof (he is guest room).
Can I now claim child benefit and when does he need to cough up maintenance.

Can he kick me out?

Next posts will be shorter. My thanks for reading xxx
