Base child maintenance calculation on net pay

What the petition asks
I want child maintenance to be calculated on net pay, instead of gross salary.
I think that calculating child maintenance from gross pay is unfair. I think that this is resulting in many parents paying child maintenance to face financial hardship, struggling to provide for their children.
