Children Living with the NRP
Dear Child Maintenance Service,
Please could you provide copies of your policies and guidance in relation to dealing with extra children living with the NRP.
In particular, please could you confirm whether the CMS runs their own independent check on whether child benefit is being claimed for the extra children living with him/her? Is a reduction in maintenance still applied if child benefit is not being claimed?
In situations where the NRP has £1,000s in outstanding arrears for his/her existing children, does the CMS still apply the full reduction in maintenance if the NRP notifies them of a new child living with them? If yes, why is the NRP's new child prioritised over the NRP's existing children?
Yours faithfully,
Mr [name removed]
