I really hope we are mending our marriage but I want to know where I stand if it does end. DH has been really up and down (I have posted many previous threads) and I don't think he loves me any more. We are working on things but I feel I would be totally stuffed if our marriage ended.

Anyway the only place I feel I could go would be my mum's, 3 hours away. Would I be allowed to though? (we have a ds - are you allowed to move away from the father). I coldn't stay here on my own. What would I be entitled to in terms of money? (he works full time, I work 2 days a week).
Thank you

Take a big deep breath and think about this calmly and logically.

Is your dh telling you that you would not be 'allowed' to move out with your ds?

Also please have a look on the CAB site and make sure you know about all the benefits etc that you would be entitled to if you decided to go it alone.

Are you very young? You sound rather unsure of yourself and a bit naive, if you don't mind me saying so You will have to be a strong and independant woman to go it alone and be there for your ds. It is a big step and you need to be as prepared as you can be.
