The Government is inviting views on plans to bring the child maintenance system back into the heart of government, in order to improve accountability and assist in the process of reform.
The Child Maintenance and Enforcement Commission has announced that its Child Maintenance Options service is now being used to provide regular support to over 100,000 children.
A number of women's and parenting charities have expressed their concerns over proposed changes to the child maintenance system in a letter to Theresa May, the Minister for women and equalities, reports the Guardian. The letter calls for the government to reconsider these proposals, warning that they are likely to unfairly affect single mothers.
Thousands of newly-separated or divorced parents are to be offered free information and support on arranging child maintenance thanks to a new initiative.
