Lone parents gain an ally

Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

LONE parents who receive little or no maintenance from the absent parent can apply for a free booklet on the Child Support Agency which starts in April.

The agency will deal with new child maintenance orders, but existing arrangements will not be taken on until 1996.

Write to the National Council for One Parent Families, 255 Kentish Town Rd, London NW5 2LX, enclosing a stamped addressed envelope with 30p worth of stamps.
