	uin	106369
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/10/2017 answer text <p>The Child Maintenance Reforms are designed to support parents to make collaborative child maintenance arrangements where possible. This is why cases within the Child Support Agency are being closed rather than automatically moved to the Child Maintenance Service; at this point parents have the ability to choose the statutory service or make a family based arrangement. Applications to the Child Maintenance Service are subject to an application fee (except where domestic violence is reported) and on-going charges for collect and pay. The Child Maintenance Options service supports parents to make the right choice about child maintenance for their individual circumstances; this may be outside the statutory scheme through a family based arrangement. Our review of charging and its impact was published in August 2017.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 11/10/2017 15:31:31 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
