in their life has experi-

therefore it is one issue we
Dear•.editor:
Z recently ran into a
problem with our new way
of government.
As a .single mother of
two,; I struggle each month
to make ends meet and<the
courts, do their part in
helping to ensure that dads
and moms out. there are.
also responsible for the
*ell being of the children.
But, when: child support
payments., don't . come, or
are in arrears, 'what's a
• mother or: father to. do' I
understand that; the system
goes like this: court. order
:to • family and: support,
then to employer, back to •
family and support,: ;then--=
to mother (fat.her) and
children waiting. Five
steps and three; `months of
Waiting ` to get the process' •.. `
In`place: .Then your pay-.
ments are .divided into 4.3
weeks. So if a.payor (dad
or mom) pays $600 a
month, you ,will receive
$136 and:: change weekly.
(No 'one told these people..
that most bills, are due on
the.first of each 'month).
Now my question is. -.if
family and support takes it
right off a,person's pay,
' check, andthe employer is
tosend it each week,
month or bi-weekly, bow
can they .be in arrears .or
no payment made at all to
us. What should we. Moth-
ers. and dads ofstarved
children do?
Furthermore; the other.
problem is if the support
people don't make pay
ment, and you apply to
social assistance: they .say
they can't help ..you
because you .get support
payments. There's • no
money to pay your bills
because you don't get pay-
meats.
How do you get help?
Because I know i.won't be
feeding miry kids this
n'month'.

topic and create positive
Solutions. This will help
us feel good about our-
selves. He will, give uss the
tools we need to overcome
this obstacle we face in
our daily lives,
i welcome everyone to
come out and talk together
about pressing: needs .they
might have. This evening
will' help nem feel that
they are not alone in deal-
ing with loss; and grief.
This seminar will be
taking place at the
Bell/lore library from 7' - 9
pm. on March 26, 1997.
