Maybe because its got to be court-ordered child support where the individual has to be found to: 1) owe the money; and 2) have the ability to pay it; and 3) hasn't paid. In short, is a deadbeat.
Since they've got the ability to pay, it's just a matter of collecting. Suspending/seizing passports, licenses and the like makes for this sort of thing to happen quickly.
And, since it's the taxpayers -- that's us -- fronting the bills when child support isn't paid, it's our money coming back in.
