    Your husband should bleeding well provide a roof for his child.

    Where are you living at the moment? Do you both own a home?

    Providing some information about your situation will help people offer more appropriate advice.

    Your the one in the strong position, if he wants out of the relationship then it is going to cost him ;)

    Stay where you are if you have a child, tell him to go and find somewhere else to live.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.
  • I have to leave as he is currently serving in the Forces and we are based overseas. Child starts school in Sept and want her to be settled

    The difficulty you will have is that, as I understand it, once your husband notifies his unit of his change to single status, you will have 93 days to vacate your current home. You can apply to the Council for accommodation in an area to which you have connections, ie originally lived there, have parents who live there etc etc but unsure whether they will be able to offer you anything until after the 93 days have expired.

  • Thank you Ms. Chocaholic. I was just wondering if I could get away sooner, rather than have child start school then have to move and start again with all this going on. Just trying to make it as easy as possible. All I wanted was to see what I could get.
