Why it was rejected

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

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

It's already possible to ask for a variation to child maintenance calculations if you think that the paying parent is controlling the amount of income they get by diverting it to another person. We're therefore not exactly sure what further action you want the Government or Parliament to take.
