    No you won't get lone parents if your working full time .

    Might be better off asking in the state benefits forum

    Yes, depending on your wage, you can get lone parents whilst working full time, and perhaps family income supplement also. Make sure to claim the single parent tax credit.
    Contact http://treoir.ie/ who will talk you through all this.

    Just because you aren't together anymore doesn't mean he doesn't have to contribute financially to the raising of his own child. If your child will be residing with you then he will have to pay child maintenance which might help towards childcare fees. Any maintenance you are paid though will be deducted from any benefits you receive.

    Also, as far as I was aware, if he wants to keep the house then he has to buy out your share of the mortgage. That might help you get set up on your own. You can't just sign it over to him. I would speak to a solicitor about the best way to proceed.
