The welfare state has made it possible for women to be independent of men. A single woman with children is assessed for the income she needs to support and bring up her children without the aid of the father or her family. Then any contibution father or family might make may be deducted. Ususally minimum documentation is required, for example, she may write estranged from her parents and separated from her husband and since these are taken as private family affairs no supporting documentation is usually available. If full state support is granted, anything available privately from father to mother will be on top of that state support.
The welfare state has anomilies. For example if a man and woman have children but separate addresses they may both claim welfare benefits independently and the total of their disposable income (after rent and bills) is greter than if they lived together. They may in fact still live together as man and wife, but still claim state benefits separately if they have separate addresses.
I might have the wrong end of the stick here. Whenever I see the state, I rant.
