Stop the resident parent maximising child maintenance via parental alienation
Ensure Child Maintenance Service give parents who are victims of domestic abuse, including Parental Alienation, time to respond to claims. CMS should only take the first payment after they have given an opportunity for the paying parent to explain their new expenses as a result of the abuse.
Parents are being alienated from their children to force Child Maintenance. The receiving parent blocks contact in order to maximise their profit. This damages children and destroys lives. CMS immediately charges the victim and takes months to respond when calculations are wrong (too high), don’t include expenses (mortgage payments, rents and travel) which are forced due to the abuse. Loving parents can find themselves homeless due to miscalculation which take over 6 months to correct.

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 you have concerns about the way the Child Maintenance is applied, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
We have published a petition calling for the Child Maintenance Service to be reviewed which you may wish to sign:

We have also published a petition calling for unreasonable parental alienation to be made a criminal offence:

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