House of Lords seeking opinions on Child Maintenance Service

[grandmashotdoodlebugs]

Please put some weight behind this one Mumsnetters

If you have never used the service, I don't care. Flood this damn survey to make them sit up and listen.

If you have to use CMS then someone is unwilling to pay. This is a starting point. It's all wrong. Paying for your kids should mandatory therefore if you have to use CMS then you should be guaranteed to receive the correct money. Sadly not.

CMS fail so many children

CMS don't follow through so the (mostly) misogyny continues (How much do you pay for your Kids Boris?)

Bumpity bump. This is really important. We need to move towards the American system here. You have kids, you bloody well pay for them, and if you don't, bye bye driving license, passports, benefits docked etc

Please dont use the link in the OP, it will look like we are spamming the consultation from a Facebook group.

The actual link is;

I saw a news story on this today and once you read between the lines, it appeared that the core ultimate goal was...drumroll please...writing off arrears and not pursing partial payments (i.e. recent and building new arrears).

This "consultation" is a trojan horse to a goal of collecting less. I was really pleased to see the consultation then gutted to see the intention of it, but we shouldn't really be surprised.
