Reform the Child Maint Service to ensure fairness, transparency for all parents — 6 signatures. Status: rejected.
We call on the UK Government to reform the Child Maint Service to ensure fair, transparent and accountable processes. It must stop penalising paying parents and properly assess their financial circumstances, while creating a balanced system that supports children and treats both parents equally
We call on the UK Government to reform the Child Maintenance Service by introducing strict response times, improving transparency in calculations, and creating a fair dispute process. The system must stop unfairly penalising paying parents and properly assess their financial circumstances. Independent oversight should be strengthened, and processes simplified to reduce errors, delays, and unnecessary financial pressure on families. It is causing major financial difficulties and mental health.
