Stop CMS sharing paying parents financial details with receiving parents

Closed 128 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the Government to stop the Child Maintenance Service (CMS) from sharing financial information (pay, pension contributions) of paying parents with receiving parents. Receiving parents should be given the amount of maintenance they will receive, not the financial details of the paying parent.
I am in a salaried position and object to my income and pension contributions being shared to someone who I have do not have an amicable relationship with. This information is private to me and I do not wish for it to be shared with people who may then choose to disclose it more widely, for example on social media.
