Reassess CMS calculations to include assets and non-PAYE income for parents

We ask the Government to conduct a full review of Child Maintenance System calculation rules for parents who are self-employed or work outside the PAYE system. We request a modernised, transparent assessment framework reflecting the true financial position of parents, regardless of employment type.

Review child maintenance service (CMS) process for accepting reduced payments

Currently, a paying parent can reduce their CMS payments by adding a partner’s child as a “relevant child,” even if that child is not biologically theirs and already receives support from their own parent. We want the Government to review this process.
