A question about : Complicated, Entitlement to benefit before divorce?

Long story short my mother intends to move out of the family home, leaving her husband there. All the children have grown up.

-Earns approx Ј185 a week after tax working full time.
-Has a joint mortgage with husband, around Ј17k left before it is paid off.
-Has small amount of personal savings under Ј6k

Wants to know how/what help she might recieve should she set herself up in a new home before the house is sold. Or whether it would be better to stay in the mortgaged house (which she really doesn't want to do).

Can she claim housing benefit when she already has a mortgage on another house?

Best answers:

  • If your mother is intending to file for divorce she should see a solicitor as financial arrangements can be complex.
  • She has an appointment this coming wednesday, will they be able to offer advice on what help she can recieve?
