Wednesday, January 15, 2003 Sisseton-Wahpeton Child Support Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate Public Forum On the Existing Child Support Guidelines Friday, January 31, 2003 Dakota Connection 9:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. The Comments of Concerned Tribal Members are Encouraged

Shall the guidelines stay the same? Where are changes needed in the guidelines? Are the guidelines fair to the custodial parent? Are the guidelines fair to the non-custodial parent? Is the minimum payment for child support too low? Should child support be based on ability to work if the non-custodial parent is unemployed? You may provide comments in writing or on the day of the hearing, where we will be taping. Call (605) 698-7131 for further information. (Note: Existing guidelines will be published in next week’s Sota Iya Ye Yapi.)
