Have your say on proposed legislative changes to enforcement and collection powers within the Child Maintenance Service.
Have your say on proposed legislative changes to enforcement and collection powers within the Child Maintenance Service.
The Department for Communities (DfC) has launched the Child Maintenance: Accelerating Enforcement (Administrative Liability Orders) consultation.
What are the new proposals?
The proposals include the use of an administrative liability order to collect child maintenance from a person who has failed to pay child maintenance. A liability order is legal recognition of a debt and is required before the Child Maintenance Service can take enhanced enforcement actions against non-compliant parents to collect child maintenance.
How to respond to this consultation
You can respond to this consultation by using the online form, emailing, or writing to DfC.
The deadline for responses is 5pm on Sunday 29 September 2024.
