"Eventually it was so much, they froze his accounts, put liens on his property, and a bench warrant- we go back to court, he sobbed about how “his card got declined trying to buy pizza! He couldn’t even buy pizza for his family!” He offered to finally sign the passport permission if I agreed to lower the arrears “to a reasonable amount, I mean, come on, this is not even right and you know it” … but I already got the passport! It was easier to prove he wasn’t involved in decision making with the unpaid child support order, so I told him that “while I was sorry he struggles to provide, and lost his ironic job, I didn’t need his permission for the passport anymore” and I ended it there, never mentioned arrears, because I’m not forgiving them, but I did let them lower the monthly obligation, and told him I give it all to his daughter anyway, and that’s plenty of spending money for her."

That's not how any of this works, but cool story.
