Petition Action

Parents who do not pay child maintenance be arrested and charged with neglect.

Petition Details

Parents are having to fight for years for money for their child via child maintenance options while the absent parent gets away with not paying for their children.
Non payment of maintenance for your child is quite simply child neglect and should be treated that way legally.

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 of child maintenance. 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.
