Taxpayers Win With Lorain Welfare Court Cooperation
Cooperation among Lorain County Welfare Department domestic relations court and the county prosecutor saved taxpayers more than a million dollars in 1980 by shifting child support costs to fathers. The process begins when unmarried mothers list the father and proceeds through court action to establish paternity and set support, with typical payments around 20 dollars weekly plus allocations for prior welfare costs. Judge Henry T. Webber oversees hearings, supported by prosecutors and staff to handle paperwork and, when needed, child care.
