Make fathers with assets or self employed income pay for their children
In numerous cases absent fathers have multiple houses and cars yet submit a nil tax return to avoid paying child support in addition fathers deliberately go self employed to free themselves of this burden leaving children in poverty
In a case known to me the mother was offered £8.00 per week child support from the CMS when the father on an E1 form in court owned 3 houses, 5 cars and 2 nightclubs however produced a nil rate tax return leaving the child's mother visiting food banks
The current system is leaving children in poverty as £8.00 does not even cover dinner money is this really fair it takes 2 to bring a child into the world.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you're concerned about the rates of child maintenance paid by people who have substantial assets or who are self-employed, but we're not sure exactly what changes you'd like the Government to make.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
