Change how much child maintainence is paid.Should be a set amount for each child

Petition Details

Child maintainence should be based on a set amount for each child and it should be capped at a certain limit. The half of the parent it is being paid to shouldnt be getting more money just because the person paying is earning more.

Additional Information

I want the Government or Parliament to do this because it shouldnt matter how much someone earns, there should be a maximum someone has to pay for a child, so the other parent that is being paid doesnt live a lavish life off of the other ones money taking advantage.

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 understand that you want to see changes to how child maintenance is calculated, but it's not clear if you want this to be based on a set amount per child, or a sliding scale (and if so how you want this to be calculated) that has a maximum cap.

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

We have published the following petition, which you might like to sign:

Reform child maintenance to consider income and outgoings of both parents: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/621596
