Petition Adjust Child Maintenance Payment assessment to account for living costs
We urge Government to revise child maintenance calculations to reflect net incomes after essential living costs. We believe this would ensure a fair and balanced system that supports both children and non-resident parents.
More details
In our view, current calculations often impose financial strain on non-resident parents, risking mental health and housing stability. Reforming the system to consider net income after essential costs could promote consistent support for children while safeguarding parents’ well-being. We believe this change is crucial for a fairer approach to child maintenance.
