Review powers of Child Maintenance Service regarding concealed income

Closed 39 signatures

What the petition asks

We think there should be a review into how the Child Maintenance Service can tackle the issue of non-paying parents who are avoiding their responsibilities by working cash in hand.
We think current CMS powers are insufficient to tackle this.
