How can I claim child maintenance in the UK?

Apply to the CMS: Use the Child Maintenance Service (CMS) to calculate and collect payments.
Provide necessary details: You’ll need information about the other parent, such as their address and income details.
Set up payments: The CMS can arrange direct pay between parents or manage the collection and distribution.
Seek legal advice: If the other parent refuses to pay, a solicitor can help enforce the payment through court orders.
Review the arrangement: Periodically check if the payment amount reflects the current financial situation.
