(827 posts)And still support it. My ex moved from state to state in the 80s and 90s. It was next to impossible to enforce my child support order due to different laws throughout the individual states. This legislation made it uniform. It also made it harder for employers to ignore child support orders. It also made it harder for the non custodial parent to hide income and assets.
You have to be extremely in arrears to lose your passport.
My ex was over 50k in arrears and lost his security clearance but only until he agreed to a payment plan on his arrears and paid his current monthly child support.
Before anyone feels sorry for him or upset with me for causing his temporary loss off security clearance you need to know he earned three times what I did and his monthly payment for four children was 350 dollars.
This is just a distraction. More high earning Republicans have been forced to support their children with this legislation. My ex was one of those Republicans.
