Look into business finance accounts of self employed people to stop them from hiding their income and give that information to Child Maintenance Service to take the right amount for Resident Parents.

Child Maintenance Service is powered by the government. More should be done to stop people taking advantage and living in luxury while not paying for their children.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

We can't publish petitions when the request is something that's already happening or something that has been announced since you started your petition.

We think your petition is covered by Government or Parliament action already. If you'd like something else, you could start a new petition clearly explaining what it is.

Where a non-resident parent is suspected of concealing their true income, the CMS can ask the Financial Investigations Unit (FIU) to investigate.

The FIU is a body within the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) which considers more complex cases.

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