Line from Point Normal to planar Curve

Hi!
Could anybody help me with this question:
if I have a planar curve, no matter how it looks, and a point, which is in the same plane but not on the curve, how to find the normal to this curve through the given point?
of course if the curve meanders enough, there are multiple normals to this curve going through the point.
it´s easy creating the normal from a given point on the curve, but i can´t seem to find a way to solve this.
i would be greatfull for your help!
