Almost 900 non-custodial Australian parents owe a total of $11 million in child support payments. A partial solution: Departure Prevention Orders. "If you can afford to travel overseas for a holiday, you can afford to financially support your children. You'd be surprised how many parents who have cried poor can access thousands of dollars within hours of being stopped at the airport," sez the CSA's General Manager. In the last financial year, DPOs resulted in the coughing up of nearly six million bucks. That's a lot of cornflakes, shoes, and schoolbooks.
