    A good friend was recently deserted by his partner, just to say was not abusive relationship. Covid put pressure on both and she met a new beau online. Stated no connection with kids or him. All young kids. He's working full-time and his parents stepped in to help. Lady has history mental health and new partner same just released from a institute. All allowances in her name. He's all over place , anyone any advice where he should start? No negative comments please

    Self explanatory unfortunately, she feels no love/connection for her partner or children, not op obviously so that is just my understanding.

    Gather all PPSNs and start with the Dept of Social Welfare..

    Into the Intreo office, needs to apply for child benefit, they could also advise if he qualifies for anything else - One Parent Family or Working Family Payment. National Childcare Scheme will also help pay creche/afterschool fees. will need to contact local providers to see if they have places if they aren't in already.

    Consult family law solicitor for advice to ensure he ringfences custody of the children, particularly in light of the ex-partners mental health issues (and that of her new partner), in case she has a change of mind and looks for full/partial custody down the road.
