INVESTIGATE BANK ACCOUNTS OF ABSENT NON-PAYING PARENTS

Too many absent non-paying parents are getting away with paying 'peanuts' or nothing at all for their children because their bank accounts, by law, are not getting looked into by the Child Maintenance department. This happens when the absent parent is working abroad, often on oil rigs and earning a high income, and not paying into the UK tax system.

Anyone who claims ESA, Income Support, Pension Allowance, Housing Benefit, Council Tax reduction and certain other benefits has to surrender their bank statements to be scrutinised by the Government body dealing with their claim.

However, if a non-paying absent parent is pursued by the Child Maintenance team they do not have to provide bank statements or details so are getting away without providing adequate maintenance for their child/children. Their details are taken from the UK tax office so if they're working abroad there is no record of them paying tax and they can get away with paying as little as £15.63 a week child maintenance. Clearly insufficient.

Demand that these absent non-paying parents provide bank details and payslips and are further investigated. The Child Maintenance department are the only Government body who do not require bank statements from the absent parent. Demand that the law is changed to protect and provide for the children of single parents NOW!

My son (pictured above with myself) and I would like to thank you all so much for your support. Just to let you all know I will be putting this petition up on the Government website in September so let's get this to parliament ASAP! My son's father has more money than most of us could dream about and gets away with paying £15.63! He's working in a high profile position on an oil rig abroad. He has several bank accounts, even having the financial ability to purchase a house in cash. SHOCKING!
