Hello, sorry if not the right forum.
I have one child who is currently 2 who is not my partners.
My partner is currently in the marines and lives/based three hours away but next year he will be leaving his job and moving in with me.
However I'm quite worried about my tax credits.currently My take home pay and childcare are practically equal, i dont even know why I bother working tbh apart from trying to set a good example for my son. My tax credits make up for most of what i loose paying for childcare.
My fear is I won't be entitled to tax credits that pay for my son's childcare, and thus it would be completely redundant for me to go to work. My partner is not financially responsible for my son yet I worry that if he moves in it will be up to him to either pay for half his childcare because I loose out or have to quit and then he has to pay all the bills. I'm not sure what he'll get paid when he leaves the marines but currently he's on around 21k so it's not a massive household income.
Has anyone experienced this ?
