Re: can they take the kids money?

It depends what your partner is planning to do.

If the debts are just in your partner's name, debt collectors and so on should not be discussing his business with you.

Unsecured debts should not take priority over food and petrol and so on.

No one is going to take your kid's money.

You have to live first and only pay disposable income towards debts.
