Cap Child Maintenance: 10% of a paying parent’s basic salary excluding overtime — 61 signatures. Status: open.

Petition background

We want the Government to cap child maintenance payments at 10% of a paying parent's basic salary, excluding overtime. We also propose a minimum payment of £210 per month for parents in full-time employment – which is roughly 10% of the minimum wage based off a 40hr week, minus any deductions.
