I was just researching that on the net and saw the law had been changed. As I said my mother fought the government on thast when we were young and looks like the law has changed since then.
Correct me if I am wrong but now it looks like the fathers are no longer allowed to write off child support payments? Would they not be able to claim their kids as dependants if the family was still together? They should still receive the same write offs for the kids as they have in the past whether the kids live with them or not.
