Factor wealth and assets outside of salary into CMS calculation & remove cap.
Legal loophole allows wealthy fathers to pay nothing for their children;
The CMS doesn't look at assets or wealth outside of salary therefore individuals paid via dividends/international income streams are outside of its jurisdiction. Salary above £156k not factored in, disadvantaging children.
Schedule 1 of the Children's Act used to provide an alternative assessment pathway but mothers questing for justice are at the mercy of UK law; things have gone from bad to worse since a case led to Judges not applying Schedule 1 of the Children's Act until a tribunal hearing via the CMS has been reached and won; seemingly impossible to do when the CMS don't look at wealth outside of salary.
