Child Maintenance Support

The Reality of Child Maintenance Disputes

Family law proceedings often lead to child maintenance claims, with child contact often blocked to leverage higher value assessments for maintenance. Most parents are willing to support their children financially, but issues arise when assessments are incorrect, inflated, or unfair.

Common Challenges Parents Face:

Malpractice & Maladministration by the Child Maintenance Service (CMS).
Inflated Financial Assessments, leading to unfair payment demands.
Misuse of Child Maintenance Claims as a legal strategy.
Financial Struggles preventing parents from adequately supporting their children.

Sustainable Support
