Yes, it depends on the circumstances really.
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. Seeing that child support is not a criminal offence in Canada
NO! I helped a friend through this very same process. The only way he was able to get the passport was to pay back child support. You will need to resolve this issue before they will issue your passport
No, only to the filing, but under certain circumstances, you can file for a reduction in any arrears. Read link by Judge Ross.
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.
Federal law states if you owe $2,500 or more in child support, you are not eligible to receive a U.S. passport. If you are that far (or more) in arrears, the child support agency in all states reports your name and social security number to the Department of State, the federal agency in charge of dispensing passports so you will not receive one. Once you pay off all of the amount in arrears and set up a bona fide payment plan for future payments, your passport restriction will be lifted.
That depends on far in arrears you are and where you live. In the United States, if you owe an amount of $2500 or more, federal law mandates that you are not eligible to get a passport. Child support agencies in all 50 states pass along the names and social security numbers of those who reach that figure to the State Department who in turn, cross checks before a passport is issued. The only way you can get a passport under those circumstances is to pay back all past due support and sign a binding agreement with the child support agency in your state of residence to keep all future payments current. In rare cases, the child support agency may request that your name be removed from the list provided to the State Department before the entire amount in arrears is paid off if there are unusual extenuating circumstances, but that is one in a million.

Ultimately, in every state, that's up to a judge.
Any back pay money you receive from Social Security will go towards your child support arrears. Although I don't know if they will take as much as they need or just a percentage. thanks for the answer. but i am not receiving back pay only my children will the back pay money that my ex- wife receive for the kids go toward my arrears
He can sue you in small claims court for the arrears
No, you cannot come back to the US without a passport.
Even with no arrears, at the request of the Obligee.
