Change the policy for Child Maintenance Services.

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

Change how Child Maintenance Services works. If one parent doesn't allow the other parent to see there child/children then the payments they receive from the affected parent should stop.

I am desperate to see my daughter but my ex partner isn't letting that happen. Then all of a sudden I receive a Child Maintenance letter saying I have to pay so much a month. If I didn't want anything to do with my daughter then I understand I should pay. But in this case. The mother is stopping me seeing her but still wanting to benefit. This needs to change.
