Child Support Agency
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what response his Department makes to an individual's claim that levels of household debt is a reason for lack of co-operation with the Child Support Agency.
- Answer
-
There are provisions which may allow the Agency to take account of debts which were incurred during a relationship when making a maintenance assessment. However, levels of household debt are not a reason for lack of co-operation with the Child Support Agency. The Government are of the view that parents' prime financial responsibility is to maintain their children.
