Support groups: There are some fantastic support groups for people going through divorce. Online forums or local community groups can connect you with others who are going through similar situations. Websites like DivorceCare or even Facebook groups for separated mums can be a great place to start.

Emotional support: It might help to talk to a counselor or therapist. Dealing with a breakup, especially when it involves children and financial stress, can be emotionally draining, and having someone to talk things through with can really help.

I hope you didn’t move out of the house before getting legal advice. I hope you and your boys are doing okay and I wish you all the best.

I’d be staying in the house, he can’t force you to be the one to move out. I’d also be talking to some of your friends who have separated, they may prove a good personal support and can point you in the direction of some legal aid etc.

Late response but I truly hope you are doing ok and have support people around you. Just make sure you look after yourself and your boys. My advice is to try and stay calm and peaceful with your husband so there it doesnt cause a big effect on your children. It’s a hard thing for them to go through as well so you have to stay strong for yourself and them. Please seek help, whether its from family, friends, coworkers, another mumma or dad or support networks. Take care.

I would suggest not to move out at this point, as long as the relationship in not affecting your children. Seek legal advice.

Look online for support groups. I just did a quick google search of the term ‘divorce support Australia’ and the first result was this one – https://www.divorcecare.org/countries/au
Good luck.
Things may be changing, but you WILL be okay. Best wishes

So sorry, if you feel it isn’t fair then definitely seek support from someone you trust and get legal advice before anything. You should get 50/50 at minimum

Well, don’t move out of the house until you’ve got legal advice and emotional support. Engage a lawyer, insist your husband try mediation and counselling, and don’t let yourself be railroaded into anything.

You poor thing. I am so sorry you are going through this. Please you must go and seek Legal Advice. Also see you family doctor he will offer the best medical advice as to who you can see to support your mental health. Hope all goes well for you stay strong.

I suggest legal advice. Don’t just give him the house, especially if in both names as if he doesn’t pay the bills you could lose it all. Good luck mumma

Sorry I’ve no other advice then already given. I’m so sorry this is happening to you, just want to send hugs your way xoxo

Sorry I can’t help you. but if you do a search on face book there may be a support group in your area.

First go to Centrelink, see a Social Worker & find out how you stand with finances. What joint funds do you have available. Why does he want you & the boys gone? Is he a good husband, no blinders, be totally honest. Does he spend time with the boys? with you? Is he emotionally or physically violent or abusive ? Does he push an argument too far, do you want to stay ?. Why. I love him is not an answer. Go see a Legal Aid Solicitor. Sorry, do you work? Good luck & if you just need to unwind to someone I am sure Mouths of Mums could give you my phone number.

That certainly doesn’t sound like a fair solution. I think you will need to see a lawyer for the best advice in this one.

I’m soo sorry you are going through this – will marriage counselling help? Positive thoughts your way. X

Very sad situation. You need to think of yourself and children first. Do not give into his demands. Legal Aid is free just for some advised. Give them a ring and see where you stand.

Sounds like he has it all worked it out for himself, well to me it sounds like it is going to be hard to keep the marriage when he wants out. If he wants to leave then he will have to pay maintenance for the two children you have together, it seems that he hasn’t thought of the two children you have. I think you need to ask for advice from a solicitor and that is going to cost you money. I’m not sure what groups are around for support but you might benefit from getting some counselling and you are going to have to see what is around, but whatever you do don’t move out of the house you never said about if you were to take the children with you but stay put till you get advice.
