When I was growing up in California in the 90′s, it was common for my friends parents to file for divorce so that the mother/children could claim benefits, including welfare and section 8 housing, while the mother worked under the table, and the father worked a normal job and lived at home. The government paid for housing, food, and clothes, allowing the family to pocket the parents wages. Out of my sports team of 30 some guys, I knew of 5 families that did this.
