    Default Getting a Passport for a Family Emergency Despite Support Arrears

    My question involves child support in the State of: Oregon

    I am around 20k in arrears in Oregon due to unemployment. I am currently working but not a job that is assisting in me paying the amount needed to bring it down. I was just informed of my grandmother in the hospital in Greece and she is about to pass, I did attempt to get a passport previously to go assist with taking care of her but was denied. Would I be eligible to receive a passport for this matter? I do not want to invest my families money for this if I will get denied again as before and since they do not reimburse the money.

    Thank you

    I'm not aware of an exception due to a family emergency. Otherwise, everyone would have a family emergency.

    You don't get $20k into arrears from being unemployed. You get $20k in arrears by waiting a LONG time before going to court to get your support order modified due to the change(s) in your employment status.

    Read this:

    http://travel.state.gov/passport/ppi...amily_863.html

    In particular this part:

    Passport Services has no information concerning individuals' child support obligations and has no authority to take action until HHS removes your name from its list.
    All of the above information is detailed in Section 51.60 (a) (2) of Title 22 of the Code of Federal Regulations
    The full statute is here: http://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/22/51
