Hello All.
My husband wants a divorce. We have a 15 months old son. I don’t want to divorce as I don’t want to do this to my son and I do believe things could get better if he wanted to change too but sadly he doesn’t want to.
We are renting and I cannot stay in that place as roommates – even tho I think this would be the best option for our son. But I just cannot stand being there if nothing changes. The atmosphere is just so bad. He’s mentally abusing me, there is not one day where I don’t end up crying and upset and I can’t have this. It effects my work and will effect my son sooner or later. I need to be good, right?
So what are my options? I do not have enough money to rent my own place and pay for rent and childcare and all living costs… I know I won’t get anything from him as he doesn’t have money either.
My absolute last option would be to move back to my country as I would have support there. But I really don’t want him to not see his dad AND my husband would not let this happen without a fight anyway. I don’t have money to get a solicitor to see what his rights for custody are.
So I guess my question is: would I get financial support? If I move out I’d like to stay in the same area as my son is familiar with it, but our area is really expensive.
I’m worried that if I do get a flat allocated that it would be in a completely different area…
I don’t know if I’m making sense… It’s just soooo much at the moment.
Thank you for any advise you have.
