A church leader named Simbarashe Mparira must give money to help raise his two children. He needs to pay one hundred dollars each month.
The children's mother, Talent Chigwanha, went to court in Harare. She told the judge that Mparira never helps take care of their children. She works hard alone to make sure the children have what they need. She explained that raising children costs more money as they grow bigger. People from Mparira's church sometimes give her money to help.
Mparira did not want to pay this money. He told the court he had no job and that his small church made very little money. He asked if he could pay twenty dollars each month for both children instead.
The judge listened to both parents. The judge decided Mparira must pay one hundred dollars every month to help his children.
