Child Maintenance and Other Payments Bill

I understand the philosophy of the voluntary system. I am not sure that I entirely share it, but that is a debate for another day. Given that most, or many, non-resident parents who have not lived in cohabitation with their children—in other words, they have a more casual relationship with them—have an unrealistically low estimate of what it costs to bring up a child, as all the research says they do, how confident is the Minister that by going for a voluntary arrangement one will increase the degree of responsibility between parents to come to mutually satisfactory arrangements for their children that do not translate into the non-resident parent paying far too little for what the child realistically needs?
