Can child support affect green card?

Answer

Failure to pay child support, in itself, typically does not lead to the revocation of a green card. However, if non-payment of child support results in a criminal charge or conviction, this could impact a green card holder’s status. For example, if a green card holder is convicted of a crime related to neglect or evasion of financial responsibilities, it could be seen as a violation of legal obligations, which might influence immigration proceedings.

Additionally, if such issues arise during the naturalization process, they could negatively affect the outcome of a citizenship application.

It’s essential for green card holders to comply with all court-ordered obligations, including child support, to avoid potential legal consequences.
