Petition Action

Overhaul of the child maintenance service.

Petition Details

Discuss the unfair financial strain on fathers who are forced to pay unreasonable sums of money through this system.

Additional Information

The way the child maintenance service calculates the payment needs to be changed or even scraped. This is causing huge financial strain on parents who cannot afford the sum. I myself cannot afford to rent or purchase a home due to an IVA but yet the CSA are demanding huge amounts which are unplayable. If you also take into account that the receiving parent is usually getting state benefits on top this is a hugely outweighed and unfair system. The money paid is also not taken off the benefits.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. We understand you'd like changes to the child maintenance service, but we're not sure what you'd like to be different.

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