Review the calculation/ processes of child maintenance services.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

CSA is currently calculated on ones earnings pre tax. The more you earn the more you pay and good parents are being forced to spend less time with the paying parent because their ex partner sees it as an income rather than doing right for the children!
For example, I used to split care with my ex 50/50 on a 3/4 night alternate week. Now I have had 1 night taken off of me with no reason other than it was inconvenient for her, and then she called CSA right away to which they are now demanding £433 a week!!! How will I then provide for my children when I have them, clothe them feed them and put a roof over their head! A review is needed and all circumstances taken into consideration!

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We understand that you're concerned about how child maintenance is calculated, but we're not sure what you'd like the UK Government or Parliament to do.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly how you would like child maintenance to be calculated.
