What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Georgia
I've read the information on the Georgia Child Support website that states that if a non-custodial parent is in arrears in excess of $2500 that this person will be denied a passport. I have also read the federal regulation from the travel.state.gov that says the same thing. Additionally, I have read 42 U.S.C. § 652(k) and The Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (P.L. 109-171) Section 7303 that describes the policy in detail. What I am not able to find is where it states that if the non-custodial parent has exceeded $2500 that they are required to pay off the entire arrears balance in order to obtain a U.S. Passport.
I went to my local child support enforcement office and was told that I must pay the amount in full but when I questioned her further, she could not show me the policy.
Can someone show me where I can locate the policy that states that child support must be paid in total before a passport can be obtained? Thanks.
