Deadline: 30 September 2024
The Department for Work and Pensions has extended its consultation on the Child Maintenance Service (CMS) to allow more time for feedback from external organisations.
The consultation aims to enhance how the CMS collects and distributes maintenance payments, ensuring children receive the financial support they are entitled to. It also seeks input on how the CMS can help separated parents establish family-based arrangements without government involvement, while offering better support to survivors of domestic abuse.
This consultation is open to voluntary and community organisations, CMS customers, and the general public.
