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 are concerned about non-payment of child maintenance, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

The Child Maintenance Service can already take a range of actions to collect arrears of child maintenance. You can find out what actions the CMS can take here: commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-7774/

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

Non-payment of child maintenance a criminal offence with custodial penalties: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/634816

Conduct a full review of the Child Maintenance Service: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/634098

If you want the Government to do something different to the above petitions you could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
