Petition Action

Cap CSA payments at set weekly amount regardless of income.

Petition Details

CSA payments are currently worked out based on the ex partners income. If you're on benefits you pay £5 per week. If you're earning £36,000 per year it goes to over £100 per week for a child and continues going up with each pound earned. Cap the CSA payments to child benefit amounts!

Additional Information

CSA payment calculator. Works out 15% of gross income for one child, 17% for 2 children and 19% for 3 or more children. On £36,000 per year for 3 children this is £567 per month. Leaving the payee with £1700 per month to live on. This is unfair on the payee.
