Find the right support
Choose who to speak to if you have a CMS question, want independent advice or would like to hear from other dads.
Contact CMS about your case
Use the official service to ask about a decision, payment, evidence request or deadline. Dad’s Matter helps you prepare your records and questions. CMS handles your case.
If you’ve received a decision, check the instructions and any deadline on your notice while you seek support.
Get independent advice
If you need help understanding what applies to you, an advice organisation can talk through your circumstances.
- Citizens Advice child maintenance guidance (England, with a nation selector).
- Both Parents Matter offers support on separation, care arrangements and child maintenance.
