Child Maintenance Contact Number and What to Prepare Before Calling

Parents looking for the Child Maintenance Service contact number should use the current number shown on the official GOV.UK website or their latest CMS correspondence, because contact details can change.

Have your information ready

Before calling, gather your reference details, names and dates of birth for the children, current contact information, income documents and notes about shared care or payments already made.

Make a clear note of the conversation

Write down the date, the name or reference of the person you speak with and any actions agreed. Keep copies of letters, payment records and supporting evidence in one place.
