Divorced father told to earn more:

The divorced 48-year-old GP, who cannot be identified, was earning around $320,000 a year at his 24-hour surgery before he and his wife split.

The stress of the relationship ending caused him to seek a sea change, quitting his role at the surgery and taking up a part-time position at a family medical centre, being paid around $40,000 a year.

But a Child Support Agency case officer ruled the doctor's drop in income was due to a "lifestyle choice" and ordered him to maintain yearly payments of $18,700, including the bulk of a $4000 sum for private school tuition.

Men warned to check consent before sex:

Young men need to be sure that a woman has consented to sex or risk being accused of rape, a new campaign by the Home Office has warned.

A Home Office spokeswoman said: "We are launching an awareness campaign on March 14 to help tackle rape by educating young men about the need to gain consent before having sex."
