Help with Seperation Problems

rosiesq

Hi
Back on here after a long time, pleased to say that after all the advice I received I'm now sorted (almost!) and moving on.
However, on behalf of my son, whose partner informed him a month ago that she has met someone else, and wants him to go.
Then this week they have received notice from their landlord anyway, giving them two months to leave.
They have two children together, 11 and 5, and 1 each from previous relationships.
The issue seems to be that his local housing dept. say he is only entitled to shared room rate. He is off work (was finished due to long term sickness due to his back) awaiting a back operation, has Sleep Apnoea and depression. He would find it difficult sharing a house, and not being able to have his children to stay. Is there anything he can do? He is hoping that when his back is better (hopefully!) he can get a job and get back to work, but until then.....? Many thanks in advance.

Not really, he needs to claim everything he is entitled to, but ultimately the children have a home, they aren't entitled to have two. (ofcourse if the kids lived with him, he'd be entitled to more)

Will his child from his previous relationship be living with him?

rosiesq

Mm..as I thought. Thanks. No, his other daughter lives with her mother.

If he has no children living with him, and is under 35, then the shared rate is correct. Could he spend an occasional overnight with his children at your house?

Who will have residency of the children? If it's him he'll have more entitlement to housing. It would make sense for him to be the resident parent if he's not working. I'm assuming the mother works.

I have a tiny one bedroom chalet, so couldn't stay with me.
No, his partner doesn't work! xx
