Passport Denial Program & Back Child Support
Posted in Child Custody & Visitation, Child Support, Father's Rights in Family Law | |
A few reputable blogs (here and here) have recently posted on the State Department’s Passport Denial Program.
In short, the State Department denies passports to non-custodial parents who owe more than $2,500 in back child support. Once the non-custodial parent is no longer in arrears, he or she may reapply for a passport.
With the new western hemisphere initiative, requiring a passport for travel to Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean (not Puerto Rico, though), money obtained through the Passport Denial Program is set to double versus last year.
