Rejected petition I need a law to make fathers pay the child support they owe.

It's too easy in this country for fathers to hide behind being self employed and not pay the child maintenance they owe. Must cost the government millions helping support me. My children get £5 off their father per day whilst he is able to go on holidays, build conservatories etc. We struggle to eat

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

There are already legal sanctions for people who don't pay the child support they owe. It's therefore not clear what you would like to change.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
