The Child Maintenance and Enforcement Commission (CMEC) have published its proposals for a new child maintenance scheme.

Proposals include basing the assessment on the latest tax-year gross income sourced directly from HMRC, annual reviews, new rules for second families, changes to requirements where care is shared equally and flat rate deductions from state benefits. The full proposals can be accessed from CMEC website. Should you require further information please contact a member of the family team.
