Thinking about leaving my husband. I don’t want to go into too much detail but he’s been the bread winner. We have a sick child and I’m sick myself. I’m not able to work anymore at the moment due to my occupation and what’s happening, but my job only brought in about $10k a year anyway. Financially we are in a very good situation but if we seperate I will be royally f’d. I can’t work a traditional full time job because I’m too unwell.
What are my options? If we sell our house (which is my dream house btw) there would be a decent amount of money if we went 50/50 but not enough to buy a house anywhere remotely close enough to our families. Would I be able to get Centrelink? Would I be able to get a mortgage with a 50% down payment, on Centrelink?
I don’t want to do this but I can’t stay in the situation I’m in anymore

Don’t know. A lot would depend on how much that 50% is. You might be expected to live off that money and rent. The only way to know is to use the online calculator
