Hi Jadaz
As Sophea explains, there are timing requirements in order to legally divorce, and practical matters to consider as well
If the divorce happens, your husband may still have financial obligations which continue after the relationship ends. The Family Courts can make orders in relation to property settlements, child support payments, spousal maintenance payments, and other matters. If you have not been employed but have had primary care for the house plus your child and as a result you have limited capacity to support yourself financially, these factors would likely be relevant to a Court assessment of your contribution and ongoing needs, though you cannot be certain as to any outcomes
More detailed information on family law and surrounding social services is available via links to organisations listed at this government webpage (
http://australia.gov.au/topics/law-and-justice/family-law), including The Family Relationship Advice Line hotline (1800 050 321)
If you have an urgent, pressing need for alternate accommodation but have no money that you can access, you might consider asking a family member for assistance or otherwise dialling an emergency assistance hotline
