Abstract
ISSUE 14(4): SPECIAL ISSUE ON CHILD MAINTENANCE SCHEMES IN FIVE COUNTRIES On pages 340, 341, and 342 in the final article, entitled ‘A Comparative Analysis of Child Maintenance Schemes in Five Countries by Christine Skinner, Mia Hakovirta and Jacqueline Davidson, it is stated that in regards to the low income vignettes for Iceland, the two non resident parents (Mr Paul and Mr Forest) would be assessed as having no capacity to pay child maintenance and their maintenance obligation would be set at zero. Th is is misleading. In fact, non-resident parents would be expected to pay at least the minimal amount of child maintenance regardless of their income level or whether they were receiving social assistance benefi ts. Th erefore, they would never be assessed as having ‘no capacity to pay’ based on an income measure alone.
