answer text <p>The Child Maintenance Service understands how important it is to ensure that the system works for everyone, including victims of domestic violence and abuse. But we do not believe that a history of domestic violence and abuse has to be a barrier to using the Child Maintenance direct pay service.</p><p> </p><p>When parents have a direct pay arrangement, caseworkers can act as an intermediary and pass information between parents, including bank details, so that the parents do not need to have any contact with each other.</p><p> </p><p>They will also provide information about how to set up a bank account with a centralised sort code, which means that it gives no indication of the possible location of the account holder. Parents can also choose to have the money paid into someone else’s account.</p> more like this
