The moving party father brought a motion for a refraining order to enjoin the Director of the Family Responsibility Office from applying to suspend his passport due to child support arrears.
The moving party claimed he was unemployed and needed to travel to Algeria to visit his ill mother.
The court dismissed the motion, finding it had no discretion to interfere because the moving party had not entered into a payment plan or satisfied the Director that he was unable to pay the arrears.
Furthermore, the court noted that even if it had discretion, it would have denied the motion because the moving party did not come to court with clean hands, having prioritized discretionary expenses over child support.
