Any parent out there that is behind in their child support payments, better cancel any plane tickets that they may have purchased This is because Australians who are now behind in their child support payments risk being turned away from airports during the Christmas season. Pretty much, Australian officials are saying that, if people have the money to travel, then they have the money to pay their child support.

Human Services Minister, Tanya Plibersek, said that they would prefer not to spoil anyone’s holiday plans. However, when it comes to kids who have gone without payments for a significant period of time, the agency now has no choice but to do this.

She said that travel bans awaited those who consistently fail to pay a former partner for the upkeep of a child. Men make up most of the 841 travel bans that have been put in place. Reports show that, if people added up all the late child support payments, the sum would reach 869 million Australian dollars. This is a lot of money that could go to helping kids.

Plibersek went on to say that Christmas travel bans proved to be effective last year. A lot of people ended up paying off some 3.3 million Australian dollars in unpaid child support. They hope that this year’s ban will do the same thing.

Overall, this ban is something that a lot of people agree with. People seem to think that these dead beat parents, who fall behind in their child support payments, should not be flying off and taking vacations. This ban is sure to bring some families a very merry Christmas as they receive money for child support.

    Child support laws in most countries, including Western countries including the USA, AUS, UK, Germany, Spain, even Japan, comes from Soviet Family law, Article 81. Is is it any wonder how the regime is operating in such a fascistic racketeering manner to extort monies in what can only be termed as a “redistribution of wealth” scheme/scam based on gender discrimination against 1/2 of the population.

    Child support was devised in the Soviet regime to break up marriages and families. We all know what happened in the FORMER USSR! History is repeating itself in the Western world.

    No child support should ever be paid. If the parent who receives the child support CANNOT afford to support the children, they should be deprived of custody, and the children given to the parent that can MOST afford them–which would happen to be the breadwinner; the father. Instead of instituting another Marxist welfare program, we need to be dismantling the child support enforcement bureaucracy-industrial complex and take the billions used annually to operate it, and send it directly to all child support recipients via wire transfer. Hence, no more “deadbeat dads” hysteria.
