The US State Department is now enforcing a policy allowing for the revocation or denial of passports for citizens owing over $2,500 in child support. This action is being implemented in coordination with the Department of Health and Human Services. The initiative aims to increase compliance with child support obligations. Officials state this measure is a tool to ensure financial responsibility towards children. Affected individuals will be unable to travel internationally until their debts are settled. The policy represents a strengthened effort to collect unpaid child support through alternative means.
