Interesting answers you have received so far! They have valid points. Won't comment on them all but just to say that if you do decide to move to, say Spain, and work think very, very hard before you come over with a young child. Unless you have something very special to contribute to the local community and can speak fluent Spanish, I think you will find it very difficult to survive. Many have tried and many have failed and returned home. Why not try to get yourself into some sort of training scheme in England now and work towards coming off the benefits....a good example for the little one as well.

I watched a programme the other day about a single parent who moved to spain and set up a childminding agency, you could do something similar then you wouldn't need to be on benefits, after all woud it be fair to move to another country and use their benefit system when you haven't contributed financially to it?

I think you will have had to pay into the system before you can claim anything. Here in Spain I think it is three years before you can make a claim for financial help.

What a great idea, why don't we all get what we can from this country and go and live in another one. I hope it is not possible .If haven't found work here, why not?
