In every society, culture, religion, norm and country of the world, parents are the ones who take care of their children both financially and physically. Children always asked their parents to fulfil their demands. For everything and for every need they refer to their parents. Because parents are the only ones who are legally responsible for their kids needs and wants. But unfortunately “divorce” is a dark side of our society too. When parents split up, then the responsibilities of children are also divided between the two. One partner is responsible for day to day care of the child, whereas the other partner is responsible for the monetary need for the child. This is how the responsibilities are divided between the two.
These cases don’t always go smoothly and the scenario is not always this peaceful. One partner might refuse to fulfil the responsibility of his/her own kid. For such cases, child support agencies are established across the UK. These agencies keep an eye on the parents that whether they are fulfilling the demands of their kids or not. To get more information without any hesitation you can dial the Child Support Agency Contact Number.
Now, the question is how does child support agency works?
Through three different ways you can go for child support services:
- On the basis of court order
- Government scheme
- Or a family based child support programme.
Family based arrangement is the easiest one. It is the most feasible option for the kids. According to this arrangement both of the parents get agreed on the child support contract. So, if the agreed payments aren’t made by the respective partner then according to this agreement you can’t go to the court because this agreement was signed only between the two partners and you can’t claim for the money in court.
To make feeding arrangements for your child different government schemes are present in the UK. The 2012 child maintenance/support scheme is present for all those parents who are not able to fulfil the demand and needs of their kids.
If your partner refused to pay the desire payment then the court will assist you in receiving the expected money from your partner for the child. It’s the safest way because your partner can’t run away from his/her responsibilities. Moreover, if your partner income is high then you can claim for more money for your child through the court.
