Hi All

I separated from my husband in February and moved out of the matrimonial home with my 5 year old daughter in May and I'm proceeding with Divorce.

Things have been far from easy my husband is a controlling manipulative so and so. I have a busy job working 4 days a week but luckily have a very supportive employer, amazing friends and family.

I've tried to do the right thing by encouraging access as often as possible and as well as an overnight every other weekend when he's other 9 year old daughter stays. However, he constantly changes access arrangements to try and inconvenience me (which it does not).

I am wanting to split with my partner. However, my name is not on the mortgage, although my money is tied into the property. It's is the matrimonial home and we have an 8 year old. I do not want to make my child homeless, lose her friends and she is doing well in school, basically upset her routine.

The only problem is the house. I have looked into getting my name put on the mortgage but the way things are now with credit crunch it would cripple me.

We live in Scotland and the law is different than English law or so I have been told.

Please help.

My husband and I split up approx 1 year ago and all was fine, however, in the last 2 months or so my 6 year old daughter has become a complete nightmare, rude, misbehaved, argumentative you name it she is it which is completely out of character for her. She tends to be worse when she comes back from her fathers. She acts as if she hates me and I can't do anyting right. My husband left me for another woman that he is still seeing and my daughter knows her and dislikes her. I have a new partner who my daughter has only met once and she says she really likes him. I am at my wits end, I am tr

I have a bit of a situation at the moment that I would like some advice on please if you could help.
It is quite confusing, but please bare with me, and I will do my best.

I was a single parent to two boys aged 16 and 2yrs old when I met my ex-partner, I had been divorced from my eldest sons dad for 9yrs, and out of the relationship with my youngest sons dad for nearly 2 1/2yrs, we split up when I was 4mths pregnant, as he went back with his ex wife.

So I was a single parent and coping quite well, then along came my ex-partner, he had never been married before, and had no children, and due to this reason I was very guarded as to how quick the relationship progressed, as I knew due to my childrens age, and him having very little experience with children we would have hiccups,,

Hi everyone.

I am looking for single/lone parents to interview about their access to information and advice services, on behalf of a Scottish lone parent charity.

This could be by telephone interview, or by taking part in a group event, in April/early May. We normally give participants a small thank you in cash for their time.

If you think you might be able to get involved, please email me in confidence for more details.
