The shambolic UK Child Support Agency is about to go under. In terms of failure to collect debt our's is pretty much in the same boat.
What amazes me is that anybody believes a child support system, operating alongside the benefit system, can ever run smoothly and successfully or more "simply". On one hand the government usurps the father by replacing him and on the other hand they want his money to do the job. What a mess.

The new UK system does have some improvements over the old - its likly to reduce the annual £200 million cost of running it.
Reading the policy for the first time a moment ago (http://www.csa.gov.uk/new/), it's clear that in the UK, liable parents pay less and have shared custody better recognised than here in NZ. I found it easy to follow.
I think the NZ Child Support is years behind the UK one.
