The British Child Maintenance Service (CMS) has reported a record level of child maintenance payments that parents transfer for the support of children. According to the agency, thanks to improvements in the service's operations, money now reaches a greater number of families than ever before. CMS representatives note that the modernization of processes and strengthening of debt collection measures have increased payment collection rates and reduced cases of non-payment. The service emphasizes that the main goal of these changes is to ensure financial support for children whose parents live separately. The increased efficiency of the system is regarded as a significant step in addressing the problem of child maintenance arrears, which has long been a subject of criticism from single parents and human rights organizations. The authors of the initiative state that they intend to continue improving collection and distribution mechanisms to guarantee stable support for families with children throughout the country.
