    Then I guess those people can tell their family that they can’t come because they’ve been blowing off their kids for years, then. The vast majority of payments on my cases were pretty small in the grand scheme of what it costs to raise a child - I’m talking a couple hundred dollars a month or less, usually, so to reach the threshold where you can’t get a passport ($2500), it wasn’t just one missed payment or a couple months of unemployment screwing them over. Most owed waaay more than $2500 by the time they bothered to call me.
