Record levels of absent parents paying child maintenance

The number of absent parents who are now paying towards the cost of their children through the Child Support Agency has hit an all-time high. The number of absent parents who are now paying towards the cost of their children through the Child Support Agency (CSA) has hit an all-time high, thanks to tough enforcement rules now in place. Nearly 9 out of 10 of non-resident parents within the CSA system are now contributing towards child maintenance to support their children, with help from the CSA. In the past 12 months, the CSA has helped collect and arrange more than £1.2 billion of payments, thanks to tougher enforcement action against parents who previously refused to pay, as well as vastly improved processes.
