Child Maintenance Options provides impartial information and support to help parents make informed choices about child maintenance. More and more parents are looking for support on a range of financial matters and may turn to trusted health professionals for advice. One of these financial matters may be child maintenance. Child Maintenance Options has produced a free guide for health visitors and midwives, 'A health professional's guide to child maintenance'. The guide provides information on child maintenance, why health professionals need to know about it and how to point parents in the right direction to find out more. The guide can be ordered by calling 0844 8267867.
