Petition Require CMS to collect evidence that child maintenance is spent on the children
Currently, there is no formal accountability for where money given to a receiving parent is spent. No receipts for clothing/food/housing etc. This money could be being spent anywhere. We think itemised receipts for CMS spend should be mandatory.
More details
Receivers may be helped to acquire mortgages & finance due to CM being an ‘income’ for themselves. In reality, we think the money should be spent on the children, the full amount should be spent on the children to live the best life they should, to have regular new clothes, choice of food etc. We believe payees are handed money without proper accountability.
