Mr.E Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Any good links/advice for someone who's coming out of a marriage with kids and has to start everything from scratch? Basically need a house, stuff to put in it and a means to do so as I have no savings and most wages go on food, car, kids and debt. My credit rating stands at "yeah have credit but pay back twice what you borrow yeah?" As well.  Just to clarify, she'll have the kids but i'll be looking to split it as evenly as possible and she's fine with that. what was the set up with your wife, did you own/rent the property? If it was bought, and you're moving out then she'll need to buy you out (unless she personally owns the house/you're entitled to nothing).  Barring that, do you have parents to move in with? Its a bit demoralizing but its a good start if you have that option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted July 4, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted July 4, 2016 Who, me? Nah, I was replying to the guy who posted before me but he edited his post in solidarity with someone else so I edited my post and made it more general.

Paid Members Duke Posted July 4, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted July 4, 2016 (edited) Yup, my bad for making thigs confusing. Sorry. Â To clarify, were not engaged yet, but I'm asking soon and am getting nervous! Edited July 4, 2016 by Duke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 No need to edit on my behalf chap, congrats! Â The situation is that we rented from the council but now I'm in my dads but it's not a ptactical solution due to me wanting the kids to have somewhere to stay and the old man being a flunk out from the Don Draper school of parenting so it's awkward. Â My earnings are fairly low so I'm thinking I might be entitled to housing benefit to some degree and one of my many sad dad mates will share with me. Â Cheers for the support guys. To give any advice I'd say listen, support and be honest. My problem was I was always saying what I thought she wanted to hear to appease her and always harbouring resentment whilst she really just wanted me to listen and respond honestly.
