Letters: Families reduced to penury by CSA
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.Sir: Polly Toynbee is wrong to imply that Network Against the Child Support Act is against the interests of single parents. In fact, Nacsa supports and advises as many "parents with care"as "absent parents".
For instance, in the case of "Mrs W" (cited in the article), the local Nacsa group has helped her fight for justice from the CSA.
I note that Polly Toynbee compares the Child Support Act with the Poll Tax. The analogy is apt - both bad law, both unfair, both unworkable and both destined to be overthrown by the time-honoured tradition of civil disobedience.
