My Petition for CMS payments

It’s not unrealistic or unreasonable whatsoever. It would 100% work.

The money should be used to cloth and feed the child at the most. Why is it the paying parents responsibility to heat a home they don’t live in? That’s an adult bill and responsibility imo, it shouldn’t come out of money for the child. The child shouldn’t be relied upon to contribute towards an adult’s household bills. But if people would really whine about it so much, take heating vouchers from CMS payments instead. I just feel like a child’s needs should start with food, drink and clothing.

The thing is though, the main custodial parent often wants and chooses to be the main custodial parent and should be responsible for their own household bills. As a non residential parent, I’m expected to pay my own heating, gas and electricity as well as the mothers? Absolutely not!

If you’re an adult and you can’t run a basic household, especially if you have responsibles too, then you shouldn’t be the main custodial parent at all.
