Reform the Child Maintenance Service

Too many separated parents experience the frustration, inconsistency and emotional toll of a Child Maintenance Service that fails the families it is meant to support. A fairer, more accountable system should put children first rather than trapping parents in bureaucracy.

What we're asking for

  • Fair and transparent calculations that reflect real shared care
  • Timely decisions and meaningful routes of appeal
  • Accountability when errors cause financial and emotional harm
  • Recognition that maintenance disputes should never be used as leverage over contact
