First of all I'm not a mum, I'm a dad. I am a stay at home dad though and have been for 8 years so hopefully you can empathise with my situation. Me and my partner have twin girls and a boy. For months, maybe years I've been begging her to put more effort into the relationship as it was getting to the point where it would fail and devastate our children, she chose not to. I have now given up and want the relationship over. we're not married, we have been together 18 years. I want as little disruption to the kids as possibleso thought it would make the most sense if she moved out as it is me that takes the kids to school, picks them up, does their tea, homework, bath and then she gets back from work to put them to bed. Can I expect her to leave, she thinks i should leave as i want to end the relationship. What happens financially, I have no income. Really need advice from people that have been through this.

Financially you're not entitled to anything from her except child support if the dc stay with you. If you own a property/have assets in joint names, you'll need to get some legal advice on selling up etc.

You're really going to need to look at finding work. You can check out what you might be entitled to as a single parent with the online benefits calculator.
