Paying parents deemed unlikely to pay must pay on time and in full by a non-enforced method for a period of at least six months via the Child Maintenance Service (the collect and pay service) before they can choose to revert to paying the receiving parent direct (Direct Pay). This provides a period of stability for the receiving parent, and requires the paying parent to demonstrate that they can be voluntarily compliant.

CMS publishes updates with regards to the value of unpaid maintenance in the Child Maintenance Service Statistics:<\/p>

<\/p>

https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/717223/child-maintenance-service-august-2013-to-march-2018.pdf<\/a><\/p>

<\/p>

In March 2018 there was a total of £197.8m unpaid Child Maintenance which should have been paid through the Collect and Pay service. This equated to 12.1% of the total liability (child maintenance) raised to date since the service began, £1,637.6m, and includes unpaid Child Maintenance under Direct Pay cases which have been transferred to Collect and Pay.<\/p>

<\/p>

Unpaid Maintenance will continue to accrue as it is impossible to achieve total compliance due to circumstances on individual cases and customer behaviours. CMS sets stretching performance measures to support restricting and reducing the growth of Unpaid Maintenance. The performance measures relate to expectations of compliance through proactive treatment of non-paying cases. The effect of these performance measures is to drive down the predicted growth so total Unpaid Maintenance does not exceed ~£300m reducing to 11.8% of the total liability raised.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4105", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Justin Tomlinson"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "North Swindon"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Justin Tomlinson"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-09-06", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-09-06T11:13:25.607Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "29"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-09-03", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Children: Maintenance"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what performance measures have been established for the Child Maintenance Service for the clearing of arrears in maintenance cases.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4385", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dr Philippa Whitford"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Central Ayrshire"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Dr Philippa Whitford"} ], "uin" : "169400"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/964287", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Work and Pensions"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/964287/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

In cases where exactly equal care is provided by both parents neither parent is required to pay maintenance. If shared care is provided for at least 175 nights in the year on average, maintenance is reduced by one half to reflect the care contribution made by the Paying Parent.
