of Maintenance Enforcement the power to create a writ or a notice of attachment

This procedure could be unconstitutional according
to the ancient principle that the judiciary be independent from the executive
branch of government. Since child maintenance is considered a higher debt
than any other, the Director of Maintenance Enforcement can effectively
override any previous order given by a judge. |
- The Yukon Maintenance Enforcement Act allows the police
to use the Maintenance Enforcement Act to gather information to pursue
