Recalculate child maintenance payments for income changes below 25% threshold

Petition Details

Child Maintenance Service (CMS) does not recalculate payments unless a parent's income changes by more than 25%. The Government should ensure that CMS accept evidence of paying and/or non-paying parents’ income changes even below a 25% income threshold, so long as evidence is provided.

Additional Information

Every pound matters towards a child getting its right towards income contribution from both its parents. CMS has been rejecting evidence merely on the grounds of income changes being just shy of their 25% threshold mark. The impact on payments can be significant.
