Make Child Maintenance payments fair for all
Child Maintenance should be reviewed in order to ensure that the process is fair for both parties (parent with care and paying parent). The system is currently unfair and does not provide equal rights to both parties.
CM should be reviewed and changed as per below:
- parent with care not given confidential information regarding paying parent I.e. salary, pension contributions etc.
- individual circumstances of both parties should be considered e.g. manipulation, outgoing costs etc.
- parent with care should be assessed equally alongside paying parent e.g. adequate care of child/ren, household income
- paying parent salary should be actual income I.e. after tax & NI
- both parties should be listened to by CMS
