What a strange bunch of now openly jealous people.
Again thanks were shared with those who wanted to help and it is sincerely appreciated.
If only you knew.
Quite bizarre.

That you believe people are jealous is more telling of you than them. Personally, I wouldn't choose your money over living with the man I love, sorry. I also doubt your poor children had much say in that "personal choice" either. It's them I feel most sorry for.DMP Mutual Support Thread member 244

My children are well educated, well travelled and have solid foundations to do whatever they wish to do.
I won't apologise for being successful, prudent and working harder than you could imagine.
I do live with the man I love, but just not every night. We will be retired before he is 50 and spend more time together than most.0 -

Despite the mythical riches you have you are on here shamelessly wondering what benefits you are entitled to. Even more sad is trying to exploit a loophole which allows you to claim benefits as single mum. I know Labour brainwashed an entire generation but this is too painful to see.0 -

Oh please! Don't act the victim, or you won't even be left with any dignity! You ensured we knew that you and your husband had salaries, taxed at the highest rate, when you left the UK. You ensured we knew you had properties, in the plural, and you ensured we knew your A Grade Student children were privately educated.
None of this information was necessary with regard to your query. What you wanted to know was not how to complete the admin, as you requested in your first post, as you could easily have afforded to ask an expert, or Googled it, but how much you could get in benefits. Else why ask it on the Benefits Board?
The things you ensured we knew was a poor attempt to disguise this fact.
Again thanks were shared with those who wanted to help and it is sincerely appreciated.
Yes, when you were reminded to click the thanks button you did.
If only you knew.
Well we only know what you have told us, don't we?
Quite bizarre.
As is your request.

Whether you post further on this board or not, I'm out of here.

wow such nastiness, such apparent pleasure in possible future bad luck, you'll be issuing death threats next! These snide little comments are playground bullying, I'm not worried about the OP's kids but as for the offspring of some of the other posters?Love many, trust few, learn to paddle your own canoe.
“Don’t have children if you can’t afford them” is the “Let them eat cake” of the 21st century. It doesn’t matter how children got here, they need and deserve to be fed.0 -
IF, the OP had the intention of claiming say tax credits (just for arguments sake), maintenance is not counted as income, IF according to HMRC's rules the OP is counted as single then monies from the non-resident parent would by their rules be maintenance. I am not looking at this from a moral angle, but applying their rules. Personally I couldn't/wouldn't claim them, but legally it's a bit of a grey area I think.
Actually, only child maintenance is disregarded. Payments to adults count as income for benefit purposes. I'm not sure any money can be regarded as child maintenance since the OP is not actually separated from her husband and there is obviously no court order or anything official from the CSA requiring child maintenance to be paid.0 -

Can I remind you of your sig:Sometimes I feel sorry for judgemental people and their boring lives. I wish I had that much time to worry about things that are none of my business.

i do fear for the youth of this country, such ignorance being passed on. Might i remind you that I am not the one pecking at carcass', demanding posters past history in order to bully and ridicule, the venom directed towards posters on here is astounding. Its not that anyone expects everyone to agree, but wishing ill will in the form of marital breakdown simply because you dont like how they live their life? That's not normal, is it?Love many, trust few, learn to paddle your own canoe.
