What the petition asks
Change child maintenance so if the paying parent is refused to see their children by the receiving parent then the paying parent should not have to pay as it’s not his choice. If the paying parent refuses to see their children and that is their choice then they will carry on paying CMS.
The child maintenance service over charges and does not take into account that some parents are refused access to their children which is not by choice and is still forced to pay, the paying parent can not affect the case due to every issue going in favour of the mother
