answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/05/2020 answer text <p>Where parents have reported domestic abuse, agents are trained to signpost clients to additional sources of support, including the new gov.uk page which highlights support routes in a crisis, as well as advice services. The Child Maintenance Options (CMO) website provides advice and signposting information to a number of specialist domestic abuse support organisations, as well as advice and information on staying safe.</p><p> </p><p>Paying Parents have a regular schedule of payments to make and are still expected to pay child maintenance throughout this period.</p><p> </p><p>If arrears do accrue during this period due to missed payments, the Service will deal with the debt once the current situation stabilises, to ensure that receiving parents do not lose out in the long run. The Service will update calculations as soon as possible and collect any unpaid amounts that may have accrued. Any parent found to have abused the system will find themselves subject to the full extent of our enforcement powers – including prosecution through the courts.</p> answering member constituency Mid Sussex answering member printed Mims Davies question first answered 19/05/2020 17:05:32 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies
