Im not sure what the benefit system in Australia is like. Here in UK it is sometimes possible to get help with interest payments on a mortgage.

Would you be better off if you sold house and saved any profit made, then rent one until you can afford to buy again. It depends on the housing market of course.

The arrival of a new baby often puts a strain on a relationship and money woes dont help the matter. perhaps you could wait until baby is born and your hormones have settled (I know i got upset and angry easily when pregnant) to sort out the problem
