What the petition asks
Mother's and father's are getting off lightly when it comes to non payment of child support for the child they helped to create.
We live in a modern world and this needs to change. Australia do not allow non paying parents to leave the country for holidays ( cant afford to pay for your child so surely can not afford a holiday). Some states in America take away non paying parents drivers licence. THE UK LAW NEEDS TO CHANGE.
