Hi,
I hope someone can help me, it looks like my husband and I will be separating soon so I am looking at what I will be living on.I've been to the website entitledto and the calculator tells me I will be entitled to £408 per week, that's child benefit, rent, council tax and child tax credits. Is this correct as it seems quite high?Thank you

My children are 14yrs, 12yrs ,5yrs & 3yrs. I don't work at the moment, but have a part time job, minimum wage lined up when the youngest goes full time in September.
No child support arrangements have been made yet as I've not spoken to him yet, he's always told me he'd quit his job if we split so I'm a bit unsure there.
He earns £380 per week after tax if he doesn't leave his job.0
