Reform the CMS system — 8 signatures. Status: rejected.
Before maintenance amounts are set, there should be a requirement to properly assess the involvement, willingness, and capability of both parents. This would reduce conflict, alienation, and ensure children have meaningful relationships with both parents.
strongly believe the policy needs urgent reform. Before maintenance amounts are set, there should be a requirement to properly assess the involvement, willingness, and capability of both parents. Additionally, where safe and appropriate, equal custody or shared care should be the starting point, not the exception. This would reduce conflict, discourage alienation, and ensure children benefit from meaningful relationships with both parents.
