Recommendation 7

7 Paragraph: 40

Assign specialist caseworkers to complex self-employment and non-earned income child maintenance cases.

Conclusion
Cases are complex where the paying parent’s income is from self-employment or non- earned income. To ensure that a fair arrangement is reached for both receiving and paying parents in these circumstances, a specialist caseworker should be assigned to such cases supported by clear guidance on identifying income sources.
