Quick story:
I’m single father, my wife and I spit 7 years ago, I have the children.
I have run a business from home for years, due to family commitments and the children being more demanding as they get older my business has suffered being reduced to a hobby.
My wife is Bipolar and has not seen her children in years. She pays no maintenance, and receives a pension off the government for her so called illness.
I have been informed by the crown that as my oldest child is now seven. I must return to work; an interview with an employment agency has been arranged. If I had the time to work I would be working full time at my business. Why can my wife sit on her fat a@@ and do nothing, and be paid. While I raise four kids and get told I have to work. .
Is there justice in Aus for Single parents like me? Is my wining justified?
ok….your best bet is to fire up your home business again. You have until July 2007 to so this or get a job. The Aust Gov’t will be asking you to work 18 hours per week and this is so you can get your pps. If your wife is bipolar, and you two are Divorced, just move on, sounds to me like you have major unresolved issues concerning her, she isnt a part of your life or the kids, so move on and stop being bitter, it’s only affecting you and how you relate to your kids. You are only being asked to go back to work because your youngerst is obviously now at school, so there is atleast 6 hours that you can use to fire up your business at home a day which is 30 hours per week, there is nothing stopping you. Im a single mum of three and Ive been there and done that and Im back at work.

I see many different scenarios of single parents having set up a support group in 2004 but I would like to know what it is like for people outside the UK.
Do you have a welfare system? If so can you get money to pay rent, free school meals, etc or do you have to work to provide everything from day one?
Here we have a welfare benefit system – social security – and have rent paid, council tax, and just enough money to get by on a week, well enough according to our Government that is, and there are new plans coming in to force lone parents to go out to work when their children are younger than 12, currently it is 16. Do you even get the choice?
What is the attitude to single parents there? Are you frowned on or praised?
It would be really interesting to hear from other areas of the globe, which could change peoples attitudes over here.. maybe..
This is going to be used in an article for a magazine in the UK would you be willing to take part?
"What is the attitude to single parents there? Are you frowned on or praised?" It depends, I’m an African American single Dad. It is much harder for all men but especially Afro-American Men to get adequate housing, stated aided funding, and JAH forbid you have to go to court. If you’re a man in the State of California and you’re on Child Support you might as well put on your chains and shackles for 18 years cause they have no mercy on single parenting men in this state. You’re looked down on a lot, and it is really sad because there are a lot of single Dad’s who are really being there for they’re kids, we cant all be branded as the "Deadbeat" because of the mishaps of the majority.

The growth in magnitude of mono parents is rising steadily. Such a growth is witnessed not alone in US, but all other countries as well.
Parenting children all alone is an arduous and amenable job, considering the fact that raising children, companionless is an uphill task. This is why, gutsy and liable personalities vote for it.
In accordance with a public canvass conducted, when provided with an opportunity, a high margin of US population opted for parenting their children companionless, single handedly. This derives to a conclusion that, people aren’t destined to parent singly, but rather, it is an option willingly chosen by them.
Monetary Aid
Realizing the hardships of raising children solely and alone, the government renders financial backup to those indigent mono parents, thus minimizing their strain and endurance.
These government aids are available for the people of the society, specifically for indigent spouseless parents.
For mono parents seeking monetary help, to apply for the financial aid, should get hold of the document for appealing for the grant, from the City Hall in the vicinity. The answers for the queries should be inscribed and it ought to be legitimate as the data will be checked and will be the groundwork for accrediting their claim for the above mentioned.
Though these monetary grants are accessible by any mono parent, there are specifications and conditions for applying, to secure the capital from money minded clan.
Mono parents who get copious amount of amends and income, sufficient to assist the children at ease and even in a lavish manner, cannot avail the monetary help rendered by the administration.
Conditions Apply
To certify for the help extended by the regime, primarily, the mono parent’s marriage should have been annulled. Else, the other parent should have long ago kicked the bucket or is impaired or crippled.
The administration and professionals, assuming that financial parental aid, to the child, in such situations is impracticable, they offer financial parenting.
Further, considering that a period of 365 days is enough to sense relinquishment, a parent, singled out due to abjuring of the child by the other parent, is as well certified to apply for the aid.
Financial help is provided for Single parents, when in a situation that the other parent being imprisoned or if the child is born to an unmarried couple.
Another instance, a swiftly escalating case, is when one of the parents, other than the parent who presently guards the child, is unidentified.
Children and parents singly raising children, in the below criteria, are unfit to aspire for monetary guidance or aid from the government.
- If because of the mono parent or both mom and dad, the child is a beneficiary for holdings or allowance.
- Auxiliary disability pension is obtainable by the mono parent for his affliction or due to him having children.
- Guardian or daycare takes over the charge of being a parent in disguise to the child.
- If the mono parent’s current companion takes care of the child. Couples united by common-law marriages come under this reservation.
- Public pension benefits can be obtainable by the mono parent who presently takes care of the child.
Though funds are provided for these mono parents, they ought to realize that, more than money, the care and emotional back up is more vital and superior to any aid rendered by the regime of the country the indigent mono parents.

I want to compare the well being of children with single parents to married parents by examing childcare, the use of it, the availability of it, the need for it to increase income, etc.
One suggestion:
The availability and affordability of childcare tends to foster detachment from a child, no matter the marital status of the biological parents.
