HELP… women in difficult relationship

[nervousnelly789]

Posting for advice I don’t want it to be too outting but will give the main points so she can’t get the help she needs.

women in relationship has 4 kids- her and hubby not getting on but everything is in his name from house to Benefits she has nothing in her name income wise, she studying to learn English.

the relationship has become toxic and she wants to leave with her kids but doesn’t know the avenues to go down.

can anyone shed some light and advice on what to do or where to go we are in the midlands area if that helps.

thank you

Maybe contact her local council or Citizen's Advice?

Is she married?

What kind of toxic?

She should contact her local domestic abuse organisation and get advice. She can also contact the National Domestic Abuse Helpline it's open 24/7.

She can call the council housing department and Shelter for housing advice.

She can contact Rights of Women for free legal advice.

If she's not British, she'll need advice regarding visa etc Check what organisations are available for her nationality/culture.

You could try Central England Law Centre? They advise on welfare benefits, housing and immigration, I think (I mention immigration as you mention she is learning English so that may or may not be relevant.).

Thank you all for comment to clarify she is a British citizen and it’s not domestic abuse like hitting punching etc it more control and emotional abuse x

There doesn't need to be violence for her to be eligible for help from domestic abuse services.

If she has no access to money, it sounds like financial abuse as well?

Yes that correct I didn’t think of it like that thanks for pointing it out, they are married.

Thank you I have noted all the different places u guys have suggested and will hopefully be able to help her

She might find this helpful regarding the economic abuse, there's a helpline as well.

If they're married then she will have a claim on any property or assets whether her name is on it or not. (If they have any). Obviously not much help to her immediately, but in the long run if she divorces him.

She'll also be able to switch benefits over to her name, when she's safe to do so.
