House husband, what are the legalities of being 1 ?

i am in a possible position to become a house husband.


Q- What would i do about nat insurance ,would i be classed as unemployed?any thing else i should know?|||You can choose not to be in employment if your partner will support you. Since you are not available for work, you can't claim benefit. You can pay Class 3 National Insurance contributions to top up your entitlement to State Retirement pension.|||Yes you are unemployed. There is no legal definition of being a house husband or a woman being a housewife. Check that you would get a pension based on your wife's nhi payments same as a woman gets a pension based on her husbands.contributions... You would not be able to claim job seekers or other benefits as you are not available for work. Housing or council tax benefits would depend on your wife's income. Presume she is in a position to support you and pay all the bills etc,|||get a job|||Anything else you should know...


It's the toughest job you'll ever have - at times rewarding beyond belief, at times so boring pulling your fingernails out with your teeth can sound like fun.
