Payments whilst seperated living under same roof?

[Lulu]

Just do everything half half until you can do something different. I doubt you will be able to claim anything though hun.
Squid, that's not a separated under one roof payment. It's highly unusual to be given a single rate payment in a relationship - sex or not. It probably had more to do with his NZ status.

could very well be they had tho asked if we were having that kind of relationship cause that would therefor effect payment ... i would just get the ex to pay for half of everything too

Umm, well actually you were in that kind of relationship, so it must have slipped through!

I dunno how they work things out I just was honest, i made it perfectly clear that we as christians have a no sex before marriage thing, We told them all the wedding dates too. then changed to partnered parenting just like now, even tho hubbie does not work or claim anything. we live of my payment

I have known of another person whom has lived under the same room with ex but they had to clearly show they paid their own ways and did not share a room. Just call centerlink and Be 100% honest declare everything and see what the outcome is. Always best to be 100% honest what ever the outcome honesty is always best

I received this payment when I split from my ex, he moved into the bungalo.
Just had to fill out a whole heap of forms and get someone within the community, my doctor, to write a letter confirming we had split etc.
Was a lot of extra mucking around but I got it in the end.

MG - call up and make an application. it's not going to be easy, i'll give you that - but you won't know if you don't try. seperated under one roof does happen, but as Lulu said, it's rare. basically, you have to provide statements from people that know you (and it's generally preferred to be people of "standing" within the community, like counsellors etc) that you are seperated. you need to be seen by the community as seperated. all finances (bank accounts, credit cards etc) need to be seperated. you will need to talk to the person at your appointment in regards to your current living arrangements - and i won't lie - it's not always going to be easy or pleasant - they will ask about more than just the rooms you sleep in. there will be questions in regard to care of your child (ie, do you do things together for her, or do you do them all yourself), do you prepare/eat meals together, the sexual aspects (or lack of) in your relationship. financial contributions to the upkeep of the house etc. you will be asked to apply for child support etc if it's granted. if you already have an arrangment in place for private child support, mention that.

it won't be easy, but it's not impossible.

hugs hun - this is a tough time for you
