Summary
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. 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.
