One Family calls for urgent reform of family law, housing and child poverty supports

One Family said: 'Most poor children in Ireland live in one-parent families and lone parents experience high levels of in-work poverty.'

The Government must reform family law supports to prevent “adversarial, traumatic court cases”, a charity advocating for one-parent families has said.

Coinciding with International Single Parents Day, One Family launched a new campaign calling for urgent action from the Government to support lone parent families in a number of areas including family law, child poverty, family homelessness and access to education.
