Petition Review and modernise the outdated Child Support Act 1991

The Government should review the Child Support Act 1991 to ensure that it is fit for modern diverse families. This should include a review of the fairness of payments based on parents' income & needs.

More details

We believe that the government should review and reform the Child Support Act 1991 because it's outdated, causing financial strain on non-custodial parents. A fairer system, considering the income of both parents, outgoings, and family dynamics, is essential. Prioritising children's well-being and reducing battles and remove the debt collection vibes will help create a more equitable and compassionate child support system for all families. It's time to modernise this crucial legislation.
