Change how Child Maintenance is Calculated based on the costs of raising a Child

The way Child Maintenance is calculated is not based on a fair calculation of how much it costs to raise a child. It is simply deemed that just because a paying parent earns more, they should in turn pay more for the upbringing of their child, even though that child is not costing any more to raise. These are just a few examples, but When a paying parent pays a higher tax amount, that is not taken into consideration, because their gross income is used, and not what they actually take home. If a parent pays for court proceedings to enable them to even see their children, the huge cost of this isn’t taken into account. Paying parents are getting into huge amounts of debt because of the unfair way these payments are Calculated.
