| I called and asked them for help--they said I earned too much.
I said yes, my gross is $31K, but after child support and taxes,
my net was a third of that (but since the kids dont live with
me, then the formula would still have me be too rich for them
to help). But besides, they said, since youre ex-wife is
already being assisted by us, it would be a conflict of interest
if any attorney associated with Legal Services anywhere were to
help you. In the next breath they admitted that Legal Services
was the only publicly funded agency that helps low-income people
with legal issues. So, once theyre helping a woman whos making
false allegations, theres no help for the accused. Thats justice? |
| -Provide OFWs and other interested parties with information materials,
including appropriate laws, relative to overseas employment and illegal
recruitment; |
| Utah Legal Services would tell the a woman calling for legal
assistance that they could only help if the woman were willing
to make an allegation of abuse. Jane said she was amazed at how
often that within 5 or 10 minutes of referring women to Utah
Legal Services the women called back saying, I need to report
abuse on the part of my husband (or ex-husband, or boyfriend, or
ex-boyfriend). Legal Services and their associates should get
no public funding. |
| -Conduct seminars on the laws, rules and regulations, issuances and latest
jurisprudence on overseas employment for lawyers, members and para-legal
workers of these organizations. |
| My experience with Legal Services (via Utah Legal Services and
their associates, Legal Center for Victims of Domestic Violence)
shows why Legal Services Corporation should be unfunded. |
