Incorporate a deeper understanding of the current Contact Arrangements into CMS Assessments.\r\n\r\n2. Introduce Safeguards Against Parental Alienation\r\n\r\n3. Implement a Dispute Resolution Pathway Within CMS\r\n\r\n4. Make Transparency and Accountability Central to CMS Enforcement","additional_details":"Under current CMS arrangements, child maintenance payments are calculated in a binary manner with little emotional\r\nIntelligence. While this is intended to protect the child’s financial welfare, it creates a troubling loophole: a parent with care (PWC) can, in some cases, deliberately obstruct contact between the child and the non-resident parent (NRP) while continuing to receive higher maintenance payments. This can lead to a form of financial exploitation and parental alienation.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":6,"created_at":"2025-06-24T22:56:14.283Z","updated_at":"2025-07-23T09:23:19.243Z","rejected_at":"2025-07-23T09:23:07.225Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2025-06-27T14:15:20.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"You may wish to sign this petition which calls for the same action:\r\n\r\nStop Child Maintenance if parents are denied access to their children \r\nhttps://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/719152"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
