A redesign of the Child Maintenance System.
Government needs to redesign how child maintenance is calculated in order to stop the disadvantage to non resident parents fighting to have a relationship with their child(ren). The maintenance structure should only be authorised by family courts when court proceedings are ongoing.
Not all parents play fair.
The current system encourages financial gain & court advantage for the parent who can stop access to the children for the non resident parent.
Those that have found themselves no longer in the family home have to try to get rehoused while at the same time paying horrendous fees for solicitor and court costs. They are placed at a huge disadvantage in trying to provide a new home compatible with shared contact.
This is detrimental to the welfare of children.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
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 how child maintenance works at present, but we're not sure exactly how you'd like arrangements for child maintenance to be changed.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
