PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

No I'm not a troll, I wish I were to be honest!
Yes I have read the Shelter information, thank you. It's hard to get out sometimes, but it has now reached the point where the situation is untenable - even for me, and I just want to do things that cause as little hurt to all, with minimal disruption to DD.0 -
Go and see a solicitor and do it now.
The children's interests are paramount and that includes keeping siblings together.
If your OH is trying to make you leave the house, but keep your daughter with him you need legal help to sort out residence and a roof over your head. It may be possible to get an order that he leave the house, although the courts are often reluctant to make such an order.
Also speak to your local women's refuge as they may be able to assist you with advice since you are threatened with homelessness and separation from your daughter.
Similarly, speak to your local council/HA and see if there is anything they can do to help. It may still be possible for you to rent privately as some LL's will accept DSS and you can apply for LHA to cover the rent, and a bond from the council to cover the deposit.
Whatever, you need to take action to keep a roof over you and your children's heads.I'm a retired employment solicitor. Hopefully some of my comments might be useful, but they are only my opinion and not intended as legal advice.0
