The bill would treat a self-employed parent's income the same as an employed parent's when calculating child maintenance, and bring the enforcement of those arrangements in line with other cases. It aims to make the rules for calculating and enforcing child maintenance fairer and more consistent for children, regardless of how their parent earns income. It also covers related provisions to support these changes.
The bill is at the 2nd reading stage in the House of Commons. If it progresses, it would move on to further stages such as committee, report, and third reading.
