    I accept its more difficult as you have separated but for years my wife and I have found jobs that means one starts early and therefore picks up after school and the other starts later and therefore drops off. 

    Which is fine of course, but as I understand it, had either of you been claiming benefits and turned down a job that didn't fit in with the other then you would have been sanctioned, which is what the OP is asking.
