A qualified solo parent applies for workplace benefits. Management learns of a small birthday present from the other parent, stipulated not to meet legal support requirements, and uses only that gift to deny status-based treatment. Which assessment is sound?
  1. The gift alone does not defeat the expressly preserved status; apply the actual statutory facts
  2. Any birthday present conclusively ends all status
  3. Employer assumptions override Section16
  4. The Act requires total absence of every human contact
  5. A gift proves all care and support are shared
