I asked my H to leave two weeks ago, after the verbal abuse he promised would never happen again.
We have two DC 6 & 3
We own our house with a mortgage. He works, and has a well paid job. I had a job of equal status until we had children, since then I’ve been a SAHM dealing with severe PND.
I no longer want to be married to my H, I’ve felt so much better since he left.
I am estranged from my family, and isolated from friends 100s of miles away. Since H left I’ve started looking for jobs and am looking after the children with far greater success than he ever thought possible.
My question is, what do I need to do to get my ducks in a row? What information do I need to gather together for my solicitor? Can I apply for a single person’s council tax discount if H doesn’t have a fixed alternative address?
I only claim child benefit for one child because H said claiming for 2 would banjax his income tax.
I literally have no idea if I am entitled to any benefits.
Any advice would be very gratefully received, thank you 😊
