The court exercised its statutory discretion under s.4 of the Married Women and Children (Enforcement of Maintenance) Act to grant an attachment of earnings order because the employer’s attendance was not mandatory under ss.5 and 8, the employer had been served and was willing to comply, the Plaintiff’s income was evidenced and undisputed, the Plaintiff had willfully defaulted on court-ordered maintenance, and procedural objections were technical and did not justify denial of effective enforcement in the Child’s and Defendant’s interests.
