Rejected petition Change the way Child Maintence is calculated so its fairer for the paying parent

Child Maintence is worked out on Gross Pay minus any pension plan payments made by the paying/ absent parent. This is means that After TAX and NI contributions have been taken off their income, the paying parent is left with less disposable income, which in turn can lead to financial difficulty.

More details

I am asking that be changed so that it is worked out on net pay after all deductions. The CSA is closing and the new CMO is starting up in 2017. This web site gives the details. http://www.cmoptions.org
Most absent parents are more than willing to provide maintenance for their children but the system sound could be a lot fairer instead of penalising the paying parent.
