<p>The Child Maintenance Service can consider whether pension contributions made by
the non-resident parent are reasonable if the parent with care has sufficient grounds
for a variation application, based on diversion of income. Pension contributions can
then be compared to the non-resident parent’s personal circumstances, such as their
age and income, to determine whether they should be considered excessive.</p><p> </p><p>The
Service will always try to ensure that the maintenance calculation accurately reflects
the non-resident parent’s ability to pay child maintenance. If pension contributions
could be considered to be affecting support given to the child, the Service will investigate
and take action if appropriate.</p>
