    Joint claims only gives you less money, I say the mother should get a house and the BF stays registered where hs is now. Means you get more money to live on.

    They want to live as a family so there is no way they will be doing what your suggesting.

    Firstly you criticise her for getting pregnant and then you tell her how to commit fraud. ;)
