Yes, though usually only when you owe more than $5000. Unfortunately, it includes cases where you never knew you had a child and get hit with $5000 to more than $100,000 in retroactive child support.
Yes, depending on the amount of arrears, and circumstances. The term "Back Child Support" is usually not unpaid, but rather a retroactive order, often for a child the man never knew existed. Under these grounds, even with tens of thousands owing, a judge can still clear the way to obtain a passport. The intent of the law was to address someone leaving the country with the intent to avoid paying an already established order that has fallen into arrears. In this economy, there are fewer countries not willing to enforce a foreign order as they attach a surcharge to the process. see links below

As a passport is now required, if you're over $5000 in arrears, a passport is canceled.Actually you don't need a passport to enter Canada only to get back into the U.S. But I don't know if a child support conviction is grounds for inadmissability.

It's likely that one or more States has notified the US State Department of your child support arrearage and, if so, you will not receive a passport. Child support debt is not discharged in bankruptcy.

If you owe back child support, you may be denied a passport until the issue is resolved. It is advisable to address the child support arrears first in order to regain your ability to travel with a valid passport. You can work towards resolving the outstanding payments through communication with the relevant child support enforcement agency.

There is no judge that can reinstate your passport while you owe that much child support. Federal law states that you must pay your back child support before getting your passport back. The concept is that if you have a valid passport, you could possibly leave the country and never return, never to pay your debt to your children. Get a stateside job, pay off your child support, then go back to the merchant marines.
