Petition

Reformation of DWP Child Maintenance Service. Redress Legality, Virtue & Justice

Rejected 9 signatures

What the petition asks

Mandate Judicial Care Before Enforcement; Legally Enforce Protected Earnings; Assess Eligibility Factors of Mothers & Fathers. End Coercive, Pejorative Threat-Based Dehumanising “Paying Parent” Language. Stop the Enforcement of Disputed Cases. Restore Proportionality, Legal Principle and Due Process
Current Practice Violates Justice Causing Severe Financial & Psychological Harm to Family. Safeguards Fail to Prevent Ultra Vires Deductions by Breaching Statutory Protected Earnings Leaving Parents Without Sufficient Means of Provision. Enforcement Is Applied Without Independent Judicial Oversight. Calculations Disregard Ability to Pay & Exceed Lawful Authority Which Undermines Dignity & Stability. A Just Government Must Never Destroy Its Citizens Livelihoods to Claim Support. Reform Is Vital.
