Closed petition Child Maintenance to be paid onto cards that can only be spent on the children.

Closed on 2 June 2021

A lot of parents that pay money for their kids via CSA never have the full satisfaction that the money is being spent on their kids. We believe there should be a way of tracing this and making sure the money is being spent correctly within reason and not for the other parent's pleasure.

The frustration that comes with paying an ex partner money for your child and knowing full well that the money is not being spent on the child is unravelling. It is a common problem and I feel this should be looked into to ensure the money (that on some circumstances is forcefully taken) is being spent within reason and not for pleasures of the other parent. It’s been an issue for a long time and I strongly believe others would be in support of this case.
