A couple of weeks ago, my long term partner has told me that she wants to leave, set up her own flat, and live her life that way.
I have no issues with this, whatsoever. We’ve been drifting apart for the last couple of years.
The issues are, we have 2 teenage kids. Both of them will be living with me, as she’s a nurse and working odd hours. My hours are closer to the kid’s hours. This was a major relief to me too. I knew we were going to be separating for some time, and when she said about me having the kids, I didn’t hesitate although there was a brief moment of ‘what?’.
The problem is, I have no idea what to do.
How to swap the child benefits to me. How to change the tax. What I can claim
Is there like a checklist I can go through or similar?
