Parental Payments Cost 'Three Lives A Day'

As many as three men a day are committing suicide because the nation's child-support system is driving them over the edge, according to the Lone Father's Association Australia.
Association President Barry Williams said the claim was not based any official figures but on anecdotal evidence such as phone calls made to its 22 branches around Australia.
"People will ring to say their son or partner has deliberately driven into a truck or driven off the road because they can't take it any more," he said.
