closedDepartment for Work and PensionsOpened 17 March 2025Closed 17 September 2025

Background

We think there should be a review into how the Child Maintenance Service can tackle the issue of non-paying parents who are avoiding their responsibilities by working cash in hand.

Additional details

We think current CMS powers are insufficient to tackle this.
