The following announcements from the Province of Alberta and BC caught my eye this week:

Edmonton… Improving the effectiveness of Alberta’s agencies,
boards and commissions is the focus of new legislation introduced in
the Alberta Legislature today.

New program makes paying child support easier – Bill 29 amends program to keep defaulters in line
Edmonton… A new way of calculating child support will make it
easier and more affordable for separated parents to stay current on
child support payments, while ensuring children receive the best
support parents can offer when their financial situations change.
The Child Support Recalculation Program – which passed into law last
fall – will annually recalculate child support orders based on changes
in the parents’ income. This means parents do not have to go to court
to have their support orders adjusted, thus saving them time, money and
emotional strain.
