Any parent unpaying maintenance to the resident parent to be penalised

Petition Details

Why should the non-resident parent be able to stop work and stay out of work and allow the resident parent to carry 100% of the financial burden. Why is there no punishment if one parent is failing to pay a suitable amount each month

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Prison can already be a consequence of failing to pay child maintenance, so we're not sure exactly what you would like to change.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
