  • the number of children in those families
  • the proportion of separated families with a child maintenance arrangement
  • the proportion of families with a:
    • ‘statutory’ child maintenance arrangement through the Child Maintenance Service (CMS) or its predecessor the Child Support Agency (CSA)
    • ‘non-statutory’ arrangement (any other child maintenance arrangement not arranged through the CMS or CSA and may include private ‘family-based arrangements’)

The data is for the financial years 2014 to 2015, 2015 to 2016 and 2016 to 2017.
