Dear Single Mother Forum users,

Please read this post in its entirety.

Who is this Forum for?

The SingleMotherForum.com Forum is intended for use primarily by Australian single mums (including ex-single and repartnered mothers), and their supporters.
Single fathers (and their supporting partners) wishing to take part in a Single Parent Community Forum consisting of both genders may wish to visit the Australian Single Parent Forum located here:

The Single Mother Forum is a parent opinion forum only.

The Forum does not contain professional or legal advice. Where personal professional advice or legal advice is required, please seek the assistance of a competent professional or professional legal practitioner.
