I am considering returning to UK. Sadly it will be without myhusband. I currently have a car loan... only 2 years in. Or shows how life changes so quickly. Can you pay of excess from uk? If I sell the car I will still owe them more money..I think. I don't want to leave debt and I'm too honest to run. Wouldn't have a clue how to do it!

My 18 year old son has chosen to return to England after 10 years here in Qld. Despite our sadness we want him to be happy and he will have great support back at home. We are thinking if it as a gap year to cope! I am unsure if he will be eligible for financial assistance. He has aspergers, is high functioning but has not been employed in QLD since leaving school last year. He would love a job so no unhelpful comments please. Any advice from parents who have experienced similar situations? Cheers Lou

Yes I think that may be the case. We will make sure we support him in any way we can and wouldn't leave the responsibility to other family members. We have looked for a traineeship here via HELP and wondered whether he would be able to access traineeship there? They were called YTS in my day... He isn't earning or claiming here and he started TAFE but we can already see he is struggling with adult education and aspergers.
