Rejected petition Parental responsibility works both ways!

single parents are told to be grateful for receiving any maintenance from a none resident parent. They are told to be grateful when the none resident parent has any input in their own child’s life! We should not be grateful. This support, be it financial or otherwise should be a given!

More details

We need to fight for a fair and just system to support single parents and ensure the other parent is providing the same level of care as we do!
