More children benefiting from child maintenance

The latest Child Support Agency figures show that just over 876,000 children were benefiting from child maintenance payments at the end October, up by 7,400 on the previous quarter.

 

Payments were made in 77.8% of CSA cases between August and October (up 0.2%) as the Agency continues to make extensive use of its powers of enforcement. More than 1,000 properties owned by parents with child maintenance debts have now been referred for possible seizure and sale. Orders for Sale have been obtained in 150 cases.

 

Almost £2.5 million has been deducted from parent’s bank accounts since new powers were introduced in 2009. The first half of 2011-12 saw a sharp increase in the number of accounts targeted for possible action.
