Rejected petition review procedures for child maintenance service for non residency parents

I am a father of 2 children that the mother refuses me access to by her own choice. The rights for dads is zero but I am still legally obliged to pay her CMS payments. I am using what I would be paying for court costs and legal fees as the best interests of the children is to see their dad not CMS

More details

As I am not paying CMS due to funds going on court fees I am potentially going to be prosecuted or have an attachment of earnings. This is not right! What do the government really believe the best interests of the child are?

Why was this petition rejected?

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

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you are concerned about the child maintenance service but we're not sure what exactly you want to happen.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

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