Answer: You’re obviously under a lot of stress and I can understand the sad situation you find yourself in. My suggestion
would be:
•
Seek the help of a lawyer who may help ensure that you/your children get the required financial help and your
husband does not walk away from his obligations. Many lawyers offer a free consultation. If you cannot afford a
lawyer, contact legal aid in UK.
•
As you are an Indian citizen, you can approach the nearest Indian Embassy/Consulate for assistance/advice.
•
Social services in UK may also be another route to seek help from.
