Make non-payment of child maintenance a criminal offence

Petition Details

The Government should make non-payment of child maintenance a criminal offence to help ensure single parents receive up to date child maintenance. Payments should be regular and fair.

Additional Information

Parents who do not pay child maintenance should face criminal sanctions, including imprisonment. The system has failed too many parents and children for many years. Too many families do not receive the maintenance due, and no or insufficient action is taken to enforce child maintenance debts. The system has failed over and over & something has to be done about this once and for all.
