In May the Child Maintenance Service launched ‘Get help arranging child maintenance’, a new online service which supports separated parents to understand their options around making financial arrangements for their children. It has replaced Child Maintenance Options in England, Scotland and Wales.
The service is available 24/7, explains child maintenance options, and includes information about family-based arrangements as well as the Child Maintenance Service (CMS).
The new service is meant to be quicker to use, taking only 15 to 20 minutes, as opposed to 45 minutes previously.
