What we do

At Child Maintenance Options, we provide free impartial information and support to help parents make informed choices about child maintenance.

The fact that we're impartial means we are here to help both parents, or anyone else with an interest in child maintenance and we aren't biased towards any one way of arranging child maintenance. We can put you in touch with specialist organisations that can provide help and advice on other areas related to separation such as housing, employment and money.

If you're a guardian, relative or friend, or if you have a professional interest in finding out more about child maintenance, we may also be able to help you.

Child Maintenance Options is a free service provided on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions.
