Self-described ‘deadbeat dad’ says court-ordered payments are too high
Description
March 27, 2015
Fri, Mar 27: Over the past few months we've shared several stories from clients of Nova Scotia's Maintenance Enforcement Program.

Now, a father who finds himself unable to make those court ordered payments is sharing his side of the story. He says the problem isn't with the enforcement program but with the orders themselves. Global's Mayya Assouad reports.
