I need accommodation advice

[disturbed]

Ok, well, my fiancee and i are splitting up and where trying to find a place for her, its all in good terms blah blah blah no harsh feelings towards each other. anyway, we dont have alot of cash, im keeping the house and shes taking the kids but winz wont help her until she is in the new house but we cant afford bond or extra rent while winz fucks around

anyone got some ideas, please. all i can think of is to get a loan from the bank to help her out untill winz gets around to it but i want a loan to be the last straw

Leave her living temporarily in the house until you can put enough money aside to get her set up somehere? It would be a lot more simple for you to find temporary accommodation than for her & the kids. Got a friend you could stay with?

Sorry to hear about that mate.
Have you tried Citizens Advice Bureau? they might be able to give some good advice and its free.

1st, commiserations


winz wont help her until she is in the new house


2nd, are you sure about this?? WINZ quite often will not tell you what you are entitled to. As mentioned, talk to Citizen's Advice and check www.winz.govt.nz. They messed Miss Mully around something chronic.

Oh and sorry, I should have said commiserations to you - it is always sad when a r'ship breaks down, especially when there are kids involved :(

I would add that allowing her to stay in the house for a period might also make the change a little easier on the kids?

As Mully said. WINZ wont do much unless pushed.
Both my sister inlaws work for them. They said the same thing.... Push for results and thee might just get results you want.

yeah thanks everyone, she has a winz appointment on monday so we will see how it goes, where still good friends but its still awkward both being under the same roof. kids are only 2 and 4, dont understand whats happening but i will get to see them whenever i want so its good. shes trying to find a place nearby too. she understands how much the kids mean to me. god bless her for that

Just stay strong mate.
You will get all the support you need from us here as many many of us have been down that very same road as you.

Sounds like you both have the kids best interests at heart, and that is the main thing. Good luck :)
