Motion text

That this House calls on the Government to remove the 4 per cent Child Maintenance Service collection fee for domestic abuse victims; notes that for domestic abuse victim-survivors, the alternative family-based arrangement is in most cases impossible to arrange; believes that using the Child Maintenance Service may be the only safe way for victims of domestic abuse to claim support for their child or children from the other parent; acknowledges the fact that this is a tax on child support; and further believes that it is ultimately the children who lose out on money intended to support them.
