of course !
child support is not HOUSING !!
it has nothing to do with living arrangements...

i do not think you are being honest.
if you are getting money for your support from the government then living with your ex then I know you could be in big trouble as this is fraud.
if you are getting money from the man then it would not make any difference.
I don't think you are a bad person in cheating the government but if you play the game you will have to pay the consequences if you are caught. This is a gamble you may or may not want to take but the childrens welfare should come first. I think you know in your heart what the right thinkg to do as you will have to live with yourself and if you think that doing this is the only way for survival then maybe then you will have to take the chance and bend the rules. Good luck as I have broken many rules and I think you probably won't get caught but there always is the chance so be prepared to suffer the consequences..goood luck

I have a similar situation hun, not a lot u can do about it with the exception of record him for benefit fraud for which he ought to get a custodial sentence. they extremely do take it heavily, they're going to keep on with him n see the position he is going, who he works 4, etc... they're going to probable supply up his benefit yet then he will both flow 2 penal complex or keep on operating (for sure legeally). i cant attempt this 2 my ex as i dont understand the position he's yet i particular as hell ought to if i knew the position he's! all i'm getting is £2.50 taken from his jobseekers allowance! in hardship-free words adequate 2 purchase a packet of toddler wipes, ideal! not! solid success besides

it is a difficult one ,i went through the same myself years ago.I did try to claim but because he was paying the bills they would not give me anything,they sent out some little creep of a man who made me feel like id just crawled out from a stone,so I got a little job for a bit extra and told the x you look after them while im working,or pay me to.a few weeks of walking out the door and leaving him with them he left .Then I could claim untill the house was sorted .

you get what you are entitled to your ex should understand that he has to pay for his children he should be the one to move out and leave the house to his family as they need it more than him

Of course you can - the welfare of children is the most important thing in a break up...go get it sorted.

Is he paying for everythin? Food, rent, transport? If he is paying for everything that involves the children then I wouldn't expect him to give you money too.
