Rejected petition Take houshold income into consideration when assessing CSA
More details
There are many absent fathers who refuse to work. They can do this with support from the new family who do work.
When assessing the income of an absent father, the whole house income should be taken into consideration. This will stop the absent father hiding from responsibilities.
