Do absent fathers no longer have to pay child maintenance?

she has a car ?

He died of exhaustion .....probably.

Wondering whether there's more than one dad.

Blimey...just realised - none of them are twins!

[bednobs]

same dad sp

[ummmm]

//Miss Buchan, whose relationship with her former partner and father of all her children ended this year,//

Apparently anne, some people who work can't afford to run a car, probably careless with their money, paying tax and stuff like that.

Was it Tom Daley?

The sprogs father appears to be of a non indeginous lineage - tut

She's 31 years of age.
Got 8 kids...all "half casts"
One would guess, more than one black father.
We the tax payer are giving her £24,000 a year and who knows how many extras?

I bet the Bulgarians and Romanians can't wait for Christmas to come.

[ummmm]

Did you read the article, Sqad? They all have the same father!!

[B00]

did no one read the article? Ummm obviously did and has quite rightly reiterated that the the father to all of them is the same.

I fail to see how many dads there are is relevant to the article anyway. The fact is, she, and she alone was downright selfish in having all those children with no means to support them by herself.

[Sqad]

\\\\Did you read the article, Sqad? They all have the same father!!\\\

Yeah! right......I bet they didn't do DNA tests.

[ummmm]

Mothers with young children would hardly get the time to be off procreating with other men!!

[Sqad]

"nervous cough" ^^^^^

[jomifl]

/Mothers with young children would hardly get the time to be off procreating with other men!/
It just doesn't happen......does it?

Actually - looking at the kids again...it's obvious they all have the same dad because they all look alike.

I wonder what was going through this woman's head when she allowed herself to be interviewed and photographed for the papers?

Did she think, "Oh, when I get a bit of publicity it's bound to help my case"?

Can just imagine what's going to be said to her older kids at school once this gets out.

That's a joke.......right?

Not that many people use the term any more, but I thought I should tell you...

It's 'half caste', not 'half casts'.

'Half casts' are what you do when you're out river fishing, but your heart really isn't in to it.

[ummmm]

Of course it happens but it's unlikely. She says the children have the same father, the children look similar to each other, why assume she's lying?
