Apparently, divorces are up amongst lower income families, and this article suggests tax credits are encouraging that:

Tax credit 'led to more divorces'http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7921123.stm

The article suggests, "the move could be linked to extra child care support that single mothers get under the scheme."

Or could it be linked to the increased stress of trying to avoid/deal with an overpayment???

Please vote to bring our 'Justice is an Amnesty' campaign to the government’s attention, and ask all your friends to do the same!
