A firm foundation for the future
To get non-resident parents to meet their financial responsibility to their children we can seize their
belongings and sell them to get the child maintenance they owe. We can record their debt on the Register of Judgements,
Orders and Fines, which may affect their credit rating, or force them to sell their property.
Helping a non-resident parent understand our powers was enough to secure a substantial sum which will benefit two children in years to come...
A non-resident parent from Southampton consistently refused to pay any child maintenance for four years. We continually chased him for payment and decided to let him know we were going to force him to sell his property, to help recover what he owed.
Following this we acted as a broker between the two parents and successfully secured an agreement on the case.
This action persuaded the man to hand over the property to his ex-partner as an investment for his children's future. The value of the property significantly exceeded the £57,000 he owed in unpaid child maintenance.
