Make paying child maintenance a legal requirement!

Petition Details

My mother is a single mum of 5 and has never received a sum of money on a regular basis from our biological father! I am petitioning for this topic because there are too many mothers and father who don't or completely refuse to pay child maintenance for there child/ren! This money is for your KIDS!

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

It's already possible for people who don't pay child maintenance to be sent to prison for non-payment, or to have deductions taken from their bank account, their earnings or from their benefits. You can find out more here:

www.citizensadvice.org.uk/family/children-and-young-people/child-maintenance/child-maintenance-2012-scheme/child-maintenance-enforcement/child-maintenance-enforcement-where-to-start/

We're therefore not sure exactly what action you'd like the Government or Parliament to take.
