citizen advice will tell you everything
Housing benefit
council tax
child tax
child benefit
working tax(as you work)
you could also get some help with childcare costs
there are also grants for buying this for your home which you can pay back at a couple of punds a week

Things should be spilt 50/50....he is obviously a Bell End and needs a good kicking but aside from that, you'll get to meet new people and start a new life just you and your baby. Wen you feel confident enough you can find a new partner that wont cheat, because now you know what not to look for. The government will help you with house arrangements and you will recieve benifits.

You can get help from the benefits agency. This will be for yourself and your sone. You also could get help from tax credits. It will be advisable to speak with housing. Check out your local council and they may be able to put you up but dont be suprised if it is a bedsit for a while. The other would be to find out why your husband cheated on you and hard as it may seem try to resolve it. Dont forget to speak with the cca as to your husband paying you for the keep of your son but as they take ages it may be an idea to come to a mutual agreement
all in all try and work it out first as your sons welfare could be at stake

The only benefit I would think you would have is your integrity that you left this cheating louse of a husband.
You need to go to work....DIVORCE your spouse and.you'll be eligible for child support, and possibly maintenance (alimony), and a share of any 401k or pensions your spouse might have. Marital property will be divided.....So you should have enough to be able to get a bed ...
Apartments are usually furnished with appliances. Depend on yourself.........No one owes you a dime....and the charity hand outs shouldn't be used for someone who is capable of earning a living on their own and supporting themselves.
Unless you are disabled, legs, arms, hands and your brain doesn't work...you shouldn't depend on a FREEBIE charity handout!!!

Poor you. I don't think you are a scrounger, benefits are there for people like you who need help. Get on to your local council office, they should be able to tell you all you need. But be careful, if you leave the family home you are volunteering to make yourself homeless, there is probably a way around it, just think things through very carefully. Good luck, i hope it all works out for you.

You need to take good care of your child you would get child support from him in divorce make sure the state collects it and pays you. You would need to get a job to support your family.
