Written evidence to be reported to the House
Child Maintenance and Other Payments Bill
12:00 pm
Professor Wikeley: I suppose it is to do with the interrelationship with the courts. They still have jurisdiction to deal with child maintenance cases in very special circumstances, such as where the child has a particular disability that creates needs or where very high-income families are involved. So, I suppose it is part and parcel of that. It is fair to say that this has never been a large proportion of the agency’s work.
