On this blog, you can find a number of posts that explain some of the consequences that come with missing child support payments, such as being taken into custody and facing steep fines. However, in Salt Lake City, and other places in Utah, back child support could affect you in other ways that you may not be aware of. For example, this dilemma could result in you being unable to leave the country.
If you owe over $2,500 in back child support, you lose your eligibility to obtain a passport. Whether you plan on leaving the country for business or vacation, falling behind on child support payments could prevent you from traveling internationally. You must pay what you owe before you can travel internationally.
Fortunately, you may be able to prevent or address this problem in a number of ways. For starters, if you owe back child support, you could have the ability to set up a payment plan and pay off what you owe. However, if you are worried about being unable to pay child support because you recently experienced a major life change, such as a major condition or losing your job, you may be able to make your monthly payments more manageable by modifying your child support order.
Whether you decide to move forward with child support modification or set up a payment plan, it is vital to handle child support issues properly. Please do not view this post as an alternative to legal advice.
