I would start with what a couple if the PP have suggested. Opening up your own bank account and trying to get some $$ into that for when the inevitable happens.
You could contact Centerlink and see what assistance they would/could offer, there is something called seperated under the same roof, but that would prove difficult to assess if you are still playing 'happy families'.
I think getting all of your 'ducks' in order is a very smart move. Start thinking about the bills and who's names they are in, try get as many as you can in his name, that way you won't leave with any bills (like electricity, home phone, etc) If there is any personal loans that you two share, or your own loan, try get as much as you paid off, this will make it easier on you in the long run. Remember the important paper work, birth certificates, marriage etc get them all together so you know where they are.
I'm sorry that your going through this, and I wish you all the best xoxo Lots of support and hugs xxo

Bill him for services and use that money as a nest egg. Do NOT just take his money and put it into your account where he cannot access it - that's theft. Even if you're married, if your intent is to deprive him of the money he has earnt, it's theft.
What's so bad about just finishing your studies as a couple and leaving when you have a job? It would make financial sense. Or would to me anyway.
