On 30 June 2014, a one-off application fee of £20 was introduced for registering with the Child Maintenance Service.
This application fee will not apply to clients who:
- are a victim of domestic violence and have reported this to an appropriate person or organisation, which includes a solicitor;
- are residents of Northern Ireland; or
- are aged under 19.
From 11 August 2014, collection charges are payable by both parents where use is made of the Child Maintenance Service 'Collect and Pay' system on or after that date.
The charges are:
- a 4 per cent deduction from the child maintenance payments received by the parent with care; and
- a 20 per cent collection fee added to the child maintenance liability for the non-resident parent.
For further information on the Child Maintenance Service and the Child Support Agency, see https://www.gov.uk/child-maintenance/how-to-pay.
