Abolish the 25% threshold for changes in income to trigger CMS recalculation

Petition Details

CMS do not recalculate child maintenance awards where incomes change by less than 25%. This can have major consequences on payers' and recipients' lives. CMS has access to HMRC and can request payslips to correct the amount to pay.

Additional Information

Many payers overpay or underpay hundreds or thousands of pounds a year, never get the money back. 25% is too high, and can lead to financial problems, mental health issues, and risk homelessness.
