Calculate child maintenance based on actual child expenses

Petition Details

CMS calculate weekly payments to the parent where the child resides using a percentage of the gross income minus pension contributions. CMS does not monitor that the funds are allocated towards the child's needs rather than the receiving parent's, nor are calculations based on invoiced expenses.

Additional Information

The Government needs to change the current outdated process where a percentage is taken from the payer's income and blindly given to a recipient. It can lead to misallocation of funds destined to the children and the funds being used for the receiving parent's personal leisure. The amount paid should be calculated according to recorded expenses, covering 50% of the child's expenses, providing that invoices are supplied (i.e clothes, food, bills, school, etc...).
