Child support is a financial payment made by a non-custodial parent to help cover the costs associated with raising their child. This includes expenses for education, healthcare, housing, food, and other essential needs.
Child support in the UK is calculated based on the paying parent’s gross weekly income, the number of children involved, and how much time the children spend with each parent. The Child Maintenance Service (CMS) provides a standard formula to determine the amount.
If the non-custodial parent refuses to pay child support, legal action can be taken. This might include obtaining a court order to enforce payment, and in some cases, wages can be garnished or assets seized to ensure compliance.
Yes, child support payments can be adjusted if there is a significant change in circumstances, such as a change in income, employment status, or the needs of the child. Either parent can request a review of the support arrangement.
No, child support payments are not tax-deductible for the paying parent, and the receiving parent does not have to pay tax on the payments they receive.
