Child Maintenance Support

Fife Gingerbread will be engaging with resident lone parents living in Fife to provide support and advocacy around their Child Maintenance claim. Whether parents don’t know where to start, are having issues with their current claim or worried about the process… we are here to help. We believe that children are entitled to fair financial support from both parents wherever possible to ensure their health, happiness and well-being.

Who will we support?

• Families in Fife at any stage of their child maintenance journey. We can also support young people interested in making their own claim.

What will we do?

• Provide 1:1 tailored support to navigate the Child Maintenance system

• Advocate on behalf of resident parents with the Child Maintenance Service

• Continued support and advice once child maintenance is in place

• Identify Income Maximisation opportunities for families

• Drop-in sessions throughout Fife to provide information and guidance to families

• Raise awareness of key issues affecting parents claiming child maintenance
