Single mum & pregnant again Centrelink help!!!!

[mummi]

Hi i just wanted to see if there is any1 else out there in my position and what has happened with them.

Im a single mum to my DD who is 1, i still see her father weekly as he comes and visit etc but we rnt together. Im now pregnant again and it is his child, but we both dont want to get bak together as its to hard.

I was wondering how centrelink will be as im pregnant again and its to my DD father but we arent together and if i need to tell centrelink im pregnant again now or if just wait until i have had it.

You don't have to tell centrelink about "future children" until they are actually born. I don't think it maters who the father is, if you're not together it's none of their busniess I should think??

Yeah you don't have to tell them about the baby until its born.

And as for having the same father - all they can do is ask - just be blunt - say "no we weren't together, I was just horny as hell and he was there" - trust me they probably won't ask too many more questions.

You just wait til you have the baby. Once you fill out the FTB/Baby bonus forms they will know you've had another child. Then will call you in for an interview to determine your relationship with the father.

:laughing::yelclap: Yeah I think they'll leave it at that lol. I know plenty of people who have slept with an ex just because both wanted sex and it was just convenient and no other reason. I'm sure they've had that before.

Same thing happened to me lol
We were not together had only just started talking again(after a year) he babysat(for once) I came home a lot tipsy one thing lead to another come the next morning we relised why we shouldn't be or sleep together (we argue way too much) 3.5 months later I find out I'm preg.
Ex was pi$$ed and didn't think he was fob because I had seen another man a month before so I wanted to make sure. We had a DNA test done ex was fob, centerlink said it happens a bit when I told them.
A women in hospital with me had the same thing to between 2 and 3 they broke up he moved back to his parents.
I wont have anymore kids so I am glad I have them both to the ex (we make cute kids) it means I only have one pain in the a$$ to deal with and in the future they can both stay with him on his weekend so I get a free weekend.
Congrats

It wont make any difference to centrelink. You can be in a relationship with the father and not live with them and still get centrelink payments so not being together wont matter. congrats and good luck,
