Review How Child Maintenance is Calculated

I want the Government to look at the way in which child maintenance is calculated based on your gross salary before tax and National Insurance. You are having money deducted based on a portion of your salary that you are already losing to the Government. This leaves many people paying maintenance unable to afford even the basics depending on everyday outgoings. Some people forced from homes and losing what they have worked hard for. It is unfair and unlawful.

Why is this important?

The way this happens forces many people into hardship and has driven no doubt thousands to despair and suicide over the years through being left in debt due to an unfair method to calculate maintenance
