US Moves to Revoke Passports for Parents with Unpaid Child Support
TL;DR
The State Department will begin revoking passports for Americans with more than $2,500 in delinquent child support, targeting significant debt and barring future travel until debts are paid. The measure relies on a rarely used 1996 federal law and expands penalties beyond renewal, with officials saying it reinforces legal and moral obligations to children and prompts debtors to arrange payment with state agencies.
