Reform child maintenance and benefit calculations to be fair and prevent poverty

Petition Details

Make the system fair. If the receiving parent is on benefits then those should be reduced by the amount received in child maintenance.

Additional Information

The income used to calculate the child maintenance rate of the paying parent should be net of taxes, NI and rent. The paying parent's children shouldn’t get less than the receiving parent's.

The current system is putting children in poverty. It is punishing working parents and rewarding those on benefits.
