But to hold yourself together when everyone would expect you to fall apart; that is true strength." ~ Unknown Q:How do I have my child support increased ifmy husband is now earning a higher income then he was when we signed our Separation Agreement? A:You should ask your husband for a copy of hisprevious years Income Tax Returns and then determine how much child support he should be paying. Once you have determined how much your husband should now be paying you can vary your child support by amending your Separation Agreement. An Amending Separation Agreement sets out the paragraph (i.e. child support) that is to be amended and states the new amount of child support. It should state your husband's current income and the date when the new amount of child support is to start. If you have a Court Order then you must have the Order varied by the court. If you and your husband agree to the amount of the variation for child support then documentation must be filed with the Court and it is unlikely you will have to attend Court. If you are not able to agree then you will have to attend Court. In either case have a lawyer assist you with obtaining the change in your Court Order and/or preparing and Amending Separation Agreement. Q:I had my third baby 6 months ago. All 3 ofmy labours were rather difficult and I was wondering if this is contributing to my inability to "hold my urine" when I laugh, cough or sneeze. Can I do anything to help this? A:The organs in the lower abdomen area aresupported by your pelvic floor muscles. For many reasons child birth being one of them these muscles can become weak. As a result the muscles are not able to keep the urine fully contained with movements that put pressure on the pelvic floor such as laughing, coughing, sneezing and heavy lifting. As with any weak muscles these muscles need to be strengthened in order to prevent the problem. Unfortunately, these muscles are laden and cannot be seen or felt like those in your arms and legs, so training them is not always an easy task. You may be familiar with the term "Kegel Exercises". These are a series of exercises that are specific for pelvic floor muscle strengthening. A visit to your physiotherapy it will greatly benefit you in being educated on how to correct this embarrassing problem. DENTISTRY PREGNANCY and WELLNESS SUSAN S. POWELL SUSAN S.
