I could be wrong here but
I was under the impression that no matter how many kids you have, they can take no more than a third of your salary??

I'm on minimum wage (thanks to some 'extremely' good accountancy) so don't get screwed over too badly, but the mother of my kids doesn't work (and never has besides the kids being 12 and 14) can still afford the 4 bed house, 2 holidays a year etc... thanks to the benefit system.

On the other hand, my missus has a 3yr old, works 16hrs a week as a events coordinator (as much as she can without losing out) but she'd be better off not working but is too proud for that.

At one point
they were garnishing 34% of my gross income, to give to my kid's pigfaced mother,while I had my kids in my care 5 nights a fortnight.
The godawful fat slag has just returned from a trip to the states using my money, and last year went on a cruise. I have not had a holiday since 1992. Also in Australia they can apply for adult child maintenance to study underwater basket weaving up until the age of 28.
