<p /> <p /> <p>The Department is prioritising the closure over the next three years
of cases with an ongoing child maintenance liability, and taking steps to minimise
disruption as far as possible for parents who wish the statutory service to continue
collecting maintenance on their behalf. Plans for handling cases where there is no
ongoing liability, but arrears are owed, are still under consideration. Where there
is a link between one of these arrears only cases, and an application to the 2012
scheme, action will be taken to bring that arrears only case up-to-date, before moving
it across to the Child Maintenance Service.</p>
