    Sorry darling to read about your split but sometimes it is easier to go your seperate ways hey? I know i was single when my first DS was 8 mths old....

    As all the other girls have mentioned C'link will work everything out for you and please please do look after yourself.

    Ask me anything as i was a single working mum since tom was 8 mths (practically from birth) til 7 yrs ......

    How is little Brock ?

    satya - I'm sorry to hear your news.

    If the house is in your name and he is not willing to move out then maybe you can get an agreement drawn up whereby he is paying rent to you which can then go towards the mortgage. Also make sure the bank accounts are seperated and that the payments come out of yours. BG has given you some great advice. I really hope he doesn't make things any more difficult than they have to be!

    sorry Nai - dont' set up a rental agreement - it would count as income towards Parenting Payment and may impact your payment. you're better up drawing up an agreement that he will pay X amount towards the mortgage each month in lieue of child support for that time frame - then it can't be counted as income as it's money for your child not for you kwim?

    Make sure you don't d anything for him or else they can say that you weren't legally separated if you do. A girlfriend got into hassles cause she was doing XH washing and they said well thats not being seperated WTF?
