This is the CMS Narrative:
77. The Government recognises that some paying parents face difficult circumstances and may be in distress. Where paying parents are struggling with their mental health due to the cost of child maintenance payments, the CMS will work with them to come to a suitable arrangement. In addition, the CMS will provide referral advice to organisations that specialise in providing support and guidance regarding mental health, emotional difficulties, and suicidal ideation where deemed appropriate.
This is a real example of what happens when one of our ultra vulnerable CMS victims asked for support when feeling suicidal and was given numbers to call:
I contacted everyone one of those numbers and responded in the summary of a follow up letter sent on as 30 October 2023
“Finally, I must point out that after feel very depressed about your latest letter and recent events I
reached out to some of the contacts that you supplied in your appendix. Unfortunately, they do not
support people in my position. Steve Smith from UK Men’s Shed was angry that you had given out
his personal phone number without permission and will be making a complaint. Ammaar Mussa’s
number from Peterborough Council for Volunteering Services no longer exists and on the landline
they don’t know who this person is. Healthy You do not offer the help or services that I need and
told me to phone the Samaritans. Do you have any numbers for Mental Health and Suicide
Support?”
