Single Mothers Facing Social Problems and Family Care Burdens

Single mothers receive very little social support. They must struggle with financial problems, child-rearing issues, and emotional problems, which affect the health and well-being of both themselves and their children. However, single mothers themselves do not expect to receive support. Almost all single mothers must financially support and help their children. Help from the child's father or husband is rarely found, even though under the Family Law, child-rearing expenses can be claimed from the child's father. Yet no single mother has filed a lawsuit to obtain such money, which indicates that in the Thai gender system, women are expected to be solely responsible for caring for children if the relationship ends
