Hi,
My husband and I seperated 3 months ago. He has moved out of the family home and gone to live rent free in a friends house. Unfortunately he has left me to sort out all of the bills and mortgage arrears while only paying me half the mortgage (which is currently interest only) which would be €65 euro per week.
I am only working 3 days a week (no possibilty of any more at the mo) and earning net €329. On top of the child allowance and the €65 - this is all I have. Not enough to pay the bills and support myself and my daughter.
My Ex is currently working some casual labour and says he is getting about €300 pw. He seems able to go on weekends away regularly though and in no rush to look for full time work.
I have applied for lone parents and am currently applying for Supplementary and MIS but not optimistic about these from what I've heard and read on other posts.
I need a car for my job but at the moment cannot afford to pay for tax and insurance while I deal with keeping a roof over my head. I am just in such a panic and scared I will lose my home as the situation is unsustainable without more help from my ex.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.
