Leaving advice

Posts: 8 Forumite
Hello,
I haven't posted for a long time but I really need some advice.
Long story short I have realised that I need to leave my husband because he is more married to his job than me. We've got two kids, a house and a mortgage and been married 10 years. He is the main earner. I work part time and am hoping my hours increase as I am doing additional training.
Where do I start? What do I do? Who do I turn to?
I'm like a rabbit in headlights atm!

Have you talked to your husband? Discussed options? Considered attending marriage counselling together?
If you have and still feel that the relationship is over, then I would suggest that you see a family solicitor, who will be able to give you some advice based on your particular situation, about your options.
I suggest you also look at the 'entitled to' website, and Child Maintenance Options site, to see what you might be able to claim if you and he do separate, so that you can work out what you might be able afford in terms of housing etc.
Think about how you and your husband will manage arrangements for the children, and how this will affect your respective jobs and abilities to extend your hours.All posts are my personal opinion, not formal advice Always get proper, professional advice (particularly about anything legal!)0 -
