The current system isn't working for many families. Complex processes, miscalculations and inconsistent enforcement often lead to financial stress, breakdowns in communication and poor outcomes for children. In some cases, the impact is profound, leading to hardship, isolation and avoidable loss.
Separation affects one in three children in the UK. For many, the process is made harder by poor communication, financial uncertainty and lack of support. We believe every child deserves stability, and every parent deserves clarity and fairness.
Thousands of parents fall into arrears through no fault of their own, often due to outdated systems that don’t reflect their real financial circumstances. This shortfall leaves families struggling and children without the support they need.
Research shows a stark correlation between child maintenance debt and parental mental health with over 1,000 deaths linked to arrears. The emotional and financial pressure can become overwhelming. This is a crisis we cannot ignore.
