Question about passports and child support

My daughters father has never met her. She is 6 now. He works for a good company and makes 151k a year. He goes on vacations out of the country quite often. According to the court order, his passport should be denied. After contacting the agency I was told that because he already had one when the court order was given and they dont expire for 10 years that there wasnt anything they could think of that I could do. That if he left, that would be it. I would get nothing, and there would be nothing they could do about it. He's set to leave for London for a long weekend (supposedly) this week. What if he doesnt come back? I live on the money he is supposed to pay each month. I have read everywhere that if you want to get a passport and you owe more than 2.5k that you will be denied till it's taken care of. He owes more than 5k. Is there anywhere I can report to that he owes too much to be able to leave? The agency also expressed concern that if he does leave, that because his passport should have been denied that he might not be able to come back. I'm so frustrated and afraid. I'm here raising her alone, and he's off vacationing every few months having the time of his life. Anyone have any suggestions?

    I wish I knew something about this or had advice to give. This is way beyond my field of knowledge, though. Hopefully they keep him from skipping out.

    I really, REALLY wish I could help you or offer you some advice, but I don't know anything about this. :( I'm sorry. Just try to find out as much info as you can...

    Oh, maybe try the Blended Families board. Those ladies deal with a lot of crazy situations and tend to be very knowledgable re CS and such.

    I am confused by many things in your post, but I think a lawyer would be your best bet.

    I am confused why a child support agency would be at a loss for how to collect from an employed individual. I am confused why you think he is going to leave the country and not come back because he owes 5000. If he makes as much as you think than he makes a lot more than that a month. Regardless. Lawyer.

    Hi,

    I am a child support  caseworker , and yes if he already has a passport then there is nothing we can to to revoke that passport. However if he is gainfully employed you local agency should be able to do a wage withholding. Not to mention garnish his tax return.

     Keep in mind that I am only 100% knowledgeable about the state I know in but I will be happy to help (to the best of my ability) with any questions you might have. 

     And fyi getting a lawyer isn't always the best option. I have seen in many cases lawyers to be more of a hindrance than helpful.

    Really? I'd be interested in knowing more about this, for sure. No snark, genuinely curious.
