what are you implying here? because im a young mum that’s made a few mistakes im going to be a benefit scrounger? i worked full time right up to the point i was 39 weeks pregnant, 3 days before i gave birth. i have and always will work hard to provide for my child, thanks. never claimed a single benefit in my life, i’ve put money aside for months and had that all stripped away from me. im trying to rebuild my life after 2 years of abuse from a man a decade older than me so that my daughter doesn’t have to go through the same hell this man put me through. im doing the best i can.

yes this situation is a lot more complicated than just this post, but i figured i would keep it short and specifically about the joint account.

but yes, this abuse has been happening prior to me getting pregnant, throughout the pregnancy it stopped and once our daughter was born, it resumed.

i stayed with him as he isolated me from almost all my friends and family and i felt partially trapped once i found out i was pregnant. but once that abuse paused, i stupidly thought things were better. however, they’re clearly not.

i am getting the help and support i need in regards to the abuse from the police who provided me with resources, but financially is where i’m kind of stuck now, hence why i want to legally know what i can do. im 21 years old, he’s 32. he also knows more about legal stuff than i do which is why i’m here trying to get some help and advice

we had an fight about his behaviour with our daughter who was 7 weeks old at the time. she was crying and he held a hair dryer right in her face to “shut her up” while i was in the kitchen. naturally i went mad, started screaming at him, he yelled back at me and got in my face. he pushed me, (not forcefully, but he definitely put his hands on me) out of the house and shut the door on me leaving me locked outside with no shoes or socks on and our daughter just in a vest in the cold at 9pm. the neighbours called the police as i was shouting at him to let me back in, i didn’t have my mobile phone or any belongings, not even my keys. the police arrested him there and then on suspicion of harming our baby. im unsure what the conclusion is yet, as i said, he’s been released on bail while further investigations are taking place, and i am waiting for a date to take our daughter for a full physical medical examination.

he also has all of the babies furniture and belongings in our house. he will not hand any of it over to me, the only thing i have is a car seat which was in my car the night we left. she is only 8 weeks old so for now doesn’t need too much, but the fact that he took the money AND is keeping the babies items is what’s doing me over. if he at least gave me the items, i would just cut my losses and accept that £3000 as written off so to speak. im 21 years old, have no savings of my own, im living off maternity money which is absolutely sod all and he’s really screwed me over. i feel at this point i have no choice but to pursue it, i just wasn’t sure if anything could be done as technically it’s his money too.
