You need to find a lawyer. If it comes to finances and separation of assets you need solid advice. My friend is in law and said legal costs end up being taken out of a divorce settlement. So don’t be put off if you don’t have the funds. Of course it might not come to that but that’s not a good power dynamic. You will have legal rights to a home and maintenance etc. in the meantime time if you’re not working get advice from citizens advice to know what benefits you’re eligible for as a since parent. And even if you are you still might be eligible for the Scottish child payment tax credits council tax single occupancy etc
You’ll need emotional support so look up free counseling services they’re are alot you just need to dig online you’ll need to off load this combination is important maintain financial and home security and mental health.
Then anything is possible you can do it. I was pregnant homeless and returned from Germany with no job and little money. You’ll doubt yourself a million times but you can do it.
