Costing the Children
Charlotte and her three young children scrape by on welfare. The only child support she's had from her estranged husband is a princely, one-off, $5.
Paul has no car and no assets and lives in a rented room. He has a job but he is mired in debt because of the payments he makes for two children, one of whom he has never even seen...
ABC's Four Corners looks into how to make the child support system fairer to mother, father and child.
