Petition Action

Reduce the Deduction of Earnings implementation from 12 to 6 weeks

Petition Details

The original time frame of 12 weeks was introduced before the arrival of the Internet and email therefore now companies can be contacted instantaneously to inform them of a pending Deduction of Earnings.

Additional Information

This would help the resident parent to receive payments quickly, reducing the need for additional services such as food banks or requiring loans. This would also reduce the arrears accrued by those who evade paying child maintenance by frequently job hopping.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

There isn't a set time for a deduction from earnings order (DEO) to be implemented, but we could accept a petition calling on the Government to require the Child Maintenance Service to put a DEO in place within six weeks of non-payment by a non-resident parent, if that's what you want to happen.
