Recommendation 16
16
Paragraph: 77
Urge Government to analyse maintenance affordability and propose urgent changes within six months.
Recommendation
The unaffordability of maintenance for some parents is causing severe hardship and distress. It also forms a barrier to compliance. Updating maintenance levels and thresholds should therefore be seen as a priority. We recommend the Government completes its analysis of the affordability of maintenance payments and make proposals as an urgent priority no later than six months after our Report has been published.
