Is the UK child maintenance system broken and open to manipulation?
The ladies discuss the UK government’s decision to allow the Department for Work and Pensions to cancel passports held by people who have not paid the child maintenance they owe and to block the renewal or replacement of passports for up to two years, and ask if the new rule will encourage parents to make child support payments or whether there are some situations where parents may be justified in refusing or withholding payment. Guest starring Monah and Tariyé Peterside.
