Details
The latest release of these statistics can be found in the collection of Child Maintenance Service statistics.
Experimental statistics on child maintenance arrangements administered by the Child Maintenance Service (CMS).
CMS statistics are also available on Stat-Xplore, an online tool for exploring some of the Department for Work and Pensions’ main statistics.
Child Support Agency (CSA) arrears data
Please note that the CSA Arrears table has been reinstated and published alongside this release of statistics.
The tables have been suspended since June 2022 due to a data issue leading to missing cases within a source dataset. We’ve now developed a reduced set of CSA Arrears statistics for this release and onwards, using the same data source as the main CMS statistics.
The Arrears statistics include high level case counts and amounts for Paying Parents with CSA arrears (including those with ongoing Child Maintenance) and Paying Parents with CSA arrears only.
