If the dad is out of work, I believe he only has to pay something like £5 per month

She might not know who the dad is

The dad could be avoiding the CSA...like some arseholes do

Yes, this is a major problem and apparently there's very little they can do about it. My (4 year old) daughter's best friend's mum is a single mother and the dad has been awful. He hasn't paid a penny in child support even though the CSA have been involved since the beginning - and his facebook is wide open, she can see that he's definitely working. He's self employed and isn't declaring his earnings, so he doesn't have to pay any CSA at all. Supposedly, they throw the book at people for tax avoidance... but she's reported him several times and has basically been told that there's nothing they can do about it.

I don't get this, because the CSA just take it straight out of the fathers salary at the same his other stoppages are taken. There is something she's not telling you, because the CSA don't mess around, they just take it.

The father is self employed so has no salary as such for them to take it from.

He doesn't work for free though, so there will always be a way of tracking his money. If the tax people can do it, then so can the CSA.

I'm also self employed, and my money is traceable (unfortunately).

Sorry, but that's rubbish. It is particularly difficult for them apparently when the fathers are self-employed, as in this case. I know of men who have gotten away with fiddling their self-employed income for years and the CSA are unable to prove differently.

It is too difficult so they focus their time on making those more willing to pay, pay more. The whole systems stinks and has not improved despite all the garbage about getting tough on irrisponsible fathers.

If she's on Maternity leave/allowance surely her housing will be paid for her?

its getting much harder for people to get information on benefits too. the job centres are an over burocratic disaster zone. working tax credits should be simpler as its the key stepping stone to get people to work who are scared of losing all benefits

If its private rented, they only pay up to a certain amount, if you chose to live somewhere more expensive then you have to make the difference up yourself

They dont inform people about working tax credit or anything..which is why it seems to some that benefits are more than working. I have a friend who was struggling working fulltime and didnt know he would be entitled to nearly 80 quid a week working tax credit, which would nearly cover his rent.

Ah right I get you.

Thanks for the vid Arista.

I think it's ridiculous that more and more people are having to rely on food banks these days to be able to eat/feed their families.

Dont forget though, people just use them because they can, not because they need to. Its nothing to do with benefit cuts, or wages going down, or anything like that apparently

I rent privately and when i was out of work they covered all my rent. But it's a one bedroom flat.

its deliberately made impossible,,,,,theres no local telephone numbers either
all this backfires because it means those on benefits are too scared to go back to work and also without working tax credits theyre losing so much money it doesnt pay to go back to work
as usual the usual politicians and wasteful councillors who are to blame for this fiasco

Rachel Reeves is my MP in Leeds west, she works regularly at our local food bank.
It is a shame ending up a lone parent it's not something that's in your life plan that's for sure.

[Nedusa]

Not sure what the point of this thread is, are we saying this woman is not receiving enough benefit or is it too much ?

Father is long gone, probably only a teenager himself so no real financial support possible.

Situation is common across the UK , I feel sorry for the child what a great start in life he/she will have...!!!

She wants the best life for her baby but will
soon go to Food Banks to get food.


What Got Me Angry

Why the Feck is he not funding her
has he run off?


Joey this is Wrong

Sign Of The Times[/QUOTE

not always as simple as that.

[lostalex]

men who don't pay child support should have their dicks chopped off. you'd see a lot more men supporting their children then, and prevent potential future children from suffering the same deadbeat dads.

maybe shes lying about who the father is as so many british women do? to try and milk more money and help out of the wrong guy.
maybe he hasnt got a roof over his head as the women get the house over 80% of the time
in many cases the men pay for the house and the bills , yet dont have a home to live in and little access to their kids too....I hope your heart bleeds for them too
besides women like this should plan for pregnancies

So many british women? This is really common eh?

Are you aware that to name the father on the birth certificate he has to actually BE there at the time?

I agree however with biased courts and stuff in breakups...woman nearly always gets the home (though its for the kids more than the woman)

As for

besides women like this should plan for pregnancies

Maybe if men dont want to pay for their offspring, they should put something on the end of it?

yes they should, but why should the man end up broke and homeless and working his finers to the bone to keep a woman in luxury, often a woman who doesnt work and has control over everything, the house, the land, the kids, and of course has free everything too
