I am still getting the brunt of this crap and I left my ex 3 years ago. If you are going to leave be very careful, you could ask womens aid about their refuges. The physical violence started after we had broken up and now three years later we are going through a messy court battoe over child contact because I dared to get a new boyfriend. He texted me today to say I ought to be paying him half thr child benefit never mind he has never paid me a dime in child support. They will try anything to upset you, yiu ex sounds like mine onpy mine was not so much worried about my family as he was about friends and other men. Jealousy is a common trait. The financial side of things was the same for me. He paid the mortgage and worked full time. I wouod suggest you take your daughter and go see the council make it clear there have been threats of violence and abuse and hopefully they will put you in emergency accommodation. DO NOT WORRY ABOUT MONEY. Thr government gives enough especially if you are working to support you and your child and of course there is maintenance he will have to pay on top of that.If you do get emergency accommodation it will take about 8 weeks to get a council house. If your name is on the deeds of the house he can’t just throw you out the house is jointly yours, if that is the case go see a legal advisor most will give a half hours free advice and please talk to womens aid, if you are not on the deeds then womens aid the council and a legal advisor. Good luck x
