Recently, my partner and I of 9 years separated. We ended things on good terms but I'm struggling financially without them. As they were the main income earner and I only work part time I'm finding it hard to pay for my rent and other basic costs of living now that they are gone. Working full time isn't an option for me either as I still need to take care of our two young children.

What happens if I received money from my parents during the relationship? Is it included in the property pool?

My parents gave me $100,000 to help me and my husband buy our first home. Now that we are getting a divorce, I'm concerned that my former husband will get the house and my parents and I will loose the $100,000 I put into the house.

Is there a way I can recover this money and give it back to my parents?
