what happens if you and your dp have a child but live apart?

[nappyaddict]

for the purpose of benefits and tax credits etc are you a single parent or not?

No joint assets. Each paying our own bills. The money in question was a hundred pounds or so I would send him roughly once a month to top up his funds. Max one transaction a month.

Nappy, no because a weekly stop over is a regular thing whichever day and no they wouldn't sit outside the house for 24 hours watching them come and go. they would arrive when the neighbour reported the boyfriend arrived, take a picture and convict you on that alone, you don't even have to be guilty.

Seashells situation is slightly different because it was temporary.
Look seriously big brother is not watching them all the time, there probably won't be a problem at all.
In your friends situation just make sure as few people as possible know she's claiming, it's nobody's business and then she should be fine.

katie my friend goes on a diff parenting site (bounty) i don't suppose you could tell her what you've told me. you can probably put it across better than me cos you know what you are talking about. one of her threads is here

shesellsseasshells....how could you and you DH not be classed as a couple?

Is she Emma ?
The trouble is I have access to information I cannot post on a forum, if she could email me at [email protected] that would be great.
