Single Mother's Child Maintenance Slashed, Sparking Social Media Debate
A single mother, Kayleigh, has sparked a social media debate after her child maintenance payment was significantly reduced. The cut has left her shocked and many parents questioning the fairness of the system.
Kayleigh's monthly payment for her two children was slashed from £135 to just £26. This works out to a mere £13 per child. The reduction has been calculated based on factors such as the paying parent's income and the number of overnight stays with each parent. Kayleigh, who claims to be the full-time parent with the other seeing the children for only 24 hours every two weeks, finds this amount inadequate.
The Child Maintenance Service, which arranges payments, has faced criticism from parents who feel the system is unfair. Some question what non-custodial parents can do if they don't have the money to pay more. Others argue that the system should consider the custodial parent's expenses and the children's needs more accurately.
Kayleigh's TikTok video about the reduction has been viewed over 68,800 times, highlighting the widespread concern about child maintenance payments. While the exact amount of child maintenance depends on various factors, many parents agree that the current system needs review to better support custodial parents and their children.
