Hi,
My partner and I have decided to seperate. We have 3 kids and a mortgage and as a self employed sole trader I'm the sole
provider. I intend to carry on paying the mortgage and upkeep etc. but with finances normally quite tight I now have the extra burden
of finding alternative accomodation for myself. Will I or my partner be eligible for any financial help thatcan go towards this extra cost?
Any advice appreciated.

Hi
Unfortunately, I'm not aware of anything, other than both your and your wife will be living in separate houses, so you will both be eligible for the 25% relief on coucil tax. It might be worth having a word with the council, and possibly the mortgage company to see if you can extend the mortgage term.
Also, it might be worth looking at this http://dadinfo.splittingup-putkidsfirst.org.uk/home
