MORE than 300,000 kids whose parents have split are losing out on cash because a government body takes a cut of the payment owed. Over half are from families where one parent has suffered domestic …

It’s used in disputes over payments and by survivors of domestic abuse who need to avoid contact with their abuser or to keep their location secret.

Chief executive Victoria Benson said: “It is completely unjust that any receiving parent has four per cent of their child’s maintenance taken from them because they are forced to rely on the CMS to collect payment.”Chief executive Ruth Davison said: “Survivors of domestic abuse should not be punished through deductions from their child maintenance while trying to protect their own safety.”

Repeated issues at the CMS meant it took ten months to secure any payments which were initially set at £20 per week to cover all three children.Ellie's* ex left her with thousands of pounds worth of debt which created big issues for her CMS paymentson the family home so had to move.At one point her ex threatened to burn her house down, but she said the CMS did not waive the £20 set-up fee.

He added that the affordability assessment is only on the paying parent and in some cases the calculation is initially based on what the receiving parent claims the other earns.He claims there’s a “fundamental problem” with the way payments are reduced according to how many nights per week, if any, the child stays with the paying parent.

A total of 146 were given suspended prison sentences, and three were given a suspended disqualification from driving.Three months after she started receiving the payments they suddenly stopped and no one at the CMS could tell her why.Months later, the CMS told her that because her ex-husband had another child from an earlier relationship, his money was being paid to that woman because he was in arrears with her.She was paid in December, for example, but not in January.
