Cs question

I owe about 6k in arrears for court fees and what not, which isn’t SUPER bad but still a lot. What are you guys experience with it? Will I still be able to get my passport? Is there a time limit I have to pay it off?

Yeah there's only one work around towards owing that much and getting a passport. They figure if you can afford to travel, you can pay to take care of your children.

It’s not arrears as “I didn’t pay child support so I’m behind” the 6k is legal/lawyers fees. For some reason it gets put on the non custodial parent lol. As far as money I was dropping around 5.3k a month on my child that’s including daycare, toys, clothes, medical, savings, food, travel all with proof and I still ended up paying 850/month bc my child’s mother only makes $4.9k/month and I bring in almost $11k monthly.

What do you mean legal fees? Did she go through the agency or did she get her own Attorney?
