Hi ladies

Could you pls give me some advice. I'm currently single 33 weeks having twins and receiving the newstart allowance. I have been except as my c-section date is 2nd March.

I know that when the babies are born I need to go onto single parent payments. I want to put my Ex on the birth certificate as he is still their father.

What happens when I get single parent payments. Does my Ex have to pay a certain amount to me as support? DO you know roughly how much a week or fortnight I will get for twins on single parent payments?

My ex is currently working and earning about $1400 net.

Centrelink said they will pay me Newstart until April. Should I wait till then to get Parent payment?

Thanks for your info

Pip
