Hiya.

I dunno if anybody can help me with this. Hubby wanted to know about work if it came to him going to prison or not.

With us moving it might be down to me to get work but haven't worked full time for years but it's a means to a end.

Sorry to ask x

Hi Chelsea,

I'm not quite sure what you're asking sorry. The option of working would be result of your personal finances. I don't think your husband would receive a wage for any work/job while he's imprisoned (if it comes to that) and I have read that some struggle to find employment once they've left. You may qualify for benefits but I'm not sure.

The best advice I have seen on this forum is to be financially independant - if the worst case happens and your husband is out of work - can you afford your house, lifestyle etc?

Hope this helps x

Hiya Orchid.

Thank you for your reply. Very helpful.

Yes I always look at the worst cast. But like you say if that happens.

I know I will have to go back to work but if it happens then he might struggle.

We will have cash from the house sale and we don't have a big lifestyle.

Thank you x
