This bill should be passed. The non-custodial parent is over $8,000 in arrears and travels at will overseas despite threats of passport denial from the local child support agency in Texas. He quits jobs at will and makes a mockery of child support every opportunity he can. I pray for the welfare of my children that this bill passes.

in this post 9/11 error - even men in arrears should be allowed to travel being that the gov't is totally unfair to men who have gone thru hardship, provided what they could and dealt with crazy ex - wives. they can't go on vacation? used to be just europe - now they cannot even leave to go to the bahamas....RIDICULOUS!!!!

This is a bad idea, I pay Child Support and I got a bad ex-wife who do not report what I pay to the child support enforcement. I can not get a fair threatment for a well paid job because this disqualify me from getting a decent well paid job. And then they want me to make miracles to pay. How can I pay if I can not get a decent job? I agree that there is some non-custodian parents that do not care for their kids but this is just a 10%, not all of us. Lets be realistic, give us the chance to overcome. If we can not get a job, How do you expect us to pay? There is other ways to make those that do not pay to answer for their actions.
