Also remember that if your son does live with you, the Child Benefit, if applicable, should be transferred to you. I wish you all the best.

However, we have a 13 year old son. I want his mother to be financially ok for his sake. It can't be healthy for him if his mam is stressed or depressed or skint. I won't be consolidating her debts in my name, but we have agreed to talk about it at the weekend. I've been on the debt helpline and plan to speak to here about contacting the card companies to try and arrange something. I also want to help her cut up her cards, and make a budget for her future life.

No advice to give, others have already been very helpful - but just wanted to say that I really admire the way you look at the whole situation and are supportive of her as much as you can. Good to see there are people like you.
