Petition Review the CMS's approach to tracing non-resident parents

I believe it is crucial to address the issue of non-resident parents evading their financial responsibilities, and that a review of how the Child Maintenance Service traces parents without a secure address and communicates their obligations to them is necessary.

More details

It is unfair that some non-resident parents can avoid their obligations, putting the burden on custodial parents and others. By reviewing the CMS, we can work towards creating a more equitable society where non-resident parents fulfil their responsibilities and single parents receive the support they need.
