Notes:
- Figures are rounded to the nearest 5.
- We have interpreted resident parent to be Receiving Parent for the Child Maintenance Service and Parent with Care for the Child Support Agency.
- “*” for the Child Maintenance Service for 2014/15 indicates it’s not a full year.
- Figures for the Child Support Agency are for all parents as we are unable to show payments purely to the resident parent.
