Change child maintenance calculations from gross annual earnings to Net earnings

Petition Details

I want the Government to change the way CMS calculates child maintenance payments, so these use net, not gross pay. Gross earnings are not what the parent takes home after all mandatory deductions are made. Calculations should therefore be based on net pay, and not gross annual earnings.

Additional Information

Child maintenance is calculated on gross annual earnings which we believe is not fair, as these parents do not receive the amount of money that the calculations are being made from! They are paying tax and National Insurance on these earning which means the CMS is calculating child maintenance using an amount that isn’t actually received by the parent.
