Benefits Christmas

[Ako Si Jamie]

if everything was so black and white, how do you know the father(s) are not paying anything, you don't know how long shes been claiming benefits, could have been recently, who is to blame for the break up?, if its the mother why should the father have to pay the crazy figures the CSA want? (my friend years ago, had to pay nearly 1/3 of his wage to the CSA, how the could he live on what he had left (without the need to claim benefits ) sure the father (or mother) pay to support their children, but everyone should pay not just some

Certainly, elements of Eloise’s tale are all too familiar: a teenage *pregnancy, a fractured relationship and four children left without a father who contributes not a single penny to their upkeep.


And if she's only recently claimed benefits how has she supported herself and her kids in the past because there's no mention of her ever working.
