End the inequality of Child Tax Credits and Child Benefit after a separation.

Petition Details

After a separation a "non-resident" parent with shared 50/50 caring is not entitled to claim Child Tax Credits easily and fairly under the current system. This is causing children to live half their lives in poverty.

Additional Information

When a child is born 1 parent claims the Child Benefit. At the direct time of separation in a 50/50% contact scenario only the "resident parent" can claim the Child Tax Credit benefit due to being in receipt of the Child Benefit. End the inequality! Non-resident parents and children deserve a fairer system.
