Not really. If you have money for a vacation, you have money to support your kid. When I worked in enforcement, I had a guy really call me and tell me that his fiancee’s parents paid for a honeymoon as a wedding gift so he needed to get a passport when he owed like $7k to his kids’ mom. Surprise surprise, he suddenly had the money when there was something he cared about on the line. I actually had several people manage to find large sums of money when their trips were on the line even though they’d all spent years claiming they couldn’t afford to pay.
That doesn’t mean withholding your passport is wrong if you’re not paying child support. Stop being an asshole and pay for the kids you brought into this world and abandoned.
Oh yeah, I honestly agree…fuck a dude taking a vacation when he’s way behind on child support. But at the same time…iono…somehow denying a passport over that feels weird?
Wait…no passport if you owe child support? I hate deadbeat dads as much as the next guy but that’s kind of fucked.
So is not pulling gout.
Dude I pull so much gout, overweight kings be kneeling to me.

It may not be a vacation. It could be death of a family member or work travel. There are all kinds of non-pleasure reasons to need a passport.

For me, the idea of the opposite feels weird… being able to get a passport when you are delinquent on child support.
It’s not like they are being denied health insurance or food stamps.
Fleeing to another country and not returning would make holding individuals who do owe child support much harder…
