If you want to end a relationship but have nowhere to go?

[Anothernamechange24]

What do you do? Until marital home is sold if that's what decided? How in this current economic climate can people afford to rent a home on their own/with kids???

Also isn't it a nightmare to get a rental property atm? I'm in a massive quandary and just don't know practically how I could leave or afford too?

I think there are many women myself included who would want to leave a relationship but can't afford to.

A womenswear commune would be a good idea..... if I had the money to establish one.

Wouldn't it! My friend said I should get legal advice but I can't afford it.

Bump

I'm trying to figure this out too. It's really tricky.
Once your house is sold, will you have enough to buy again or will you need to rent?
I keep turning it over in my mind and can't find a solution that isn't also really shit, but different type of shit.
I love the idea of housing specifically for women in our position: somewhere safe to go in the interim until the dust has settled, a place to exhale and have the headspace to make important decisions about next steps without spousal scrutiny, conflict or stress. So many suboptimal decisions must be made by separating parents because the context in which they are making their decisions is just too pressured.
Wishing you the very best, OP.

Some people continue to live together until the house is sold. It is harder to rent now but not impossible, I know a couple of people who have just got rentals no problem. Obviously you need the deposit and rent in advance. The council can help too if you’re not in a position to have the rent and deposit. There are options but it’s not easy

You might be able to find a solicitor who will do an initial half-hour consultation for free, to get you started.

And yes, it'd be one option to both stay in the marital home until it can be sold.

If I said I was going we would be able to harmoniously carry on living in the same house. I have a full time wage but it's less 40k and I don't really have any savings.

Sorry meant we wouldn't be able to carry on living together.
