The State Department is preparing a major enforcement push aimed at parents with large unpaid child support debts
The U.S. State Department will begin revoking passports from parents who owe significant unpaid child support, starting with those owing $100,000 or more. The move is expected to affect about 2,700 passport holders at first, before expanding to parents above the $2,500 threshold set under federal law.
