The new law on passports and child support what do you think?
I see on Yahoo about child support and how if your over 2500 in back child support you can not get a passport for whatever reason, I am re-married and my husband I am married to pays child support to a child who his wife ex has denied a paternity test to my husband and is now remarried her self. I am so sick of the laws of men having even women having to pay child support ( especially men) who have been denied a paternity test and even when told the cost will be out of our pocket, people can be upset about what I have to say but I will tell you something. Women especially play games with men when it comes to things like this I have seen it, heard it and am appuled by it, I think laws should change and I think MEN especially better start thinking about the future and when your child turns 18 you go and get a paternity test and IF the child is NOT yours you sue the mother for fraud, and for whatever else you can get her for , for all back payments. eventually this will happen.my opinion
I like your answer Tony L, see I believe the courts should stop and see each case and look and see the real deal they are blinded by what ( Mostly women do to men) and the games and everything else. Sure they can withhold a passport no problem but with holding a child from seeing the other parent doesn't seem to be a problem for them as well, where the other parent suffers.
I think Laws need to change because it hurts allot of people not just the child but the Non-custodal parent in many ways, people seem to forget that when a parent goes for child supprt by the time it hits a court they are behind and then they can never catch up especially when they ad intrest every month on top of that, I was wondering for all the americans in the USA who are in DEBT with child support who are denied paternity test or that bastard law thing ( no matter if he is or isn't your kid) is it because the welfare dept is sick of dishing out money to mothers who don't know who the kids dad really is? I bet

that's what happens when we allow our politicians to make broad sweeping laws instead of focusing on each individual case

The courts are too clogged for any change. Also, lawmakers are more interested in passing popular, not proper legislation.
I've been paying child support for 13 years. I've only got another 3 more years left (when my oldest finishes college, my youngest lives with me now).
I think it's a just law. I'm not bothered by withholding a passport application for unpaid child support. A close friend of mine has two children and is unable to collect a dime from her ex-husband. I'd have no problem denying him anything. It would be one thing if he tried and provided something regardless of how insufficient it was but he's screwed up and she basically still supports him so he won't be homeless.

If he was married to his ex-wife before the baby was born, that is seen (In the eyes of the law) as acceptance that the child is their own, biological or not. If they aren't married before the child is born, then the court would have no authority to deny a paternity test. But other than that, I think it's a great idea. You can't vacation in another country (You can still vacation in the states) unless you pay your support. Makes sense to me. Remember, there is a child in the middle of this. They are the ones who ultimately suffer.

I just read this on the internet, it just amazes me that people can come up with alot of money at one time and not pay child support. amazing
