Stop child maintenance payments being calculated before tax, calculate after!

Petition Details

We currently calculate child maintenance on the paying parents income before tax based in income they do not have but rather 20-40% less. Many parents are left unable to live and go to lengths such as suicide. Yes pay for your child but it has to be fair. Also children within their home suffer too.

Additional Information

Calculations are based off of money you don't have ie you have a gross income of £3300 per month (which cms will use to calculate) however you're actually getting £2600 net income. A huge £700 difference.
A child you pay for is worth £300 a month yet the children in your own home are work £10 a month each!
People have committed suicide due to cms calculations and pushing them.
