“Catch flights, not child support arrears…” may no longer be an option.

According to recent reports, the U.S. State Department is ramping up enforcement against parents with significant unpaid child support by revoking passports for those with large arrearages, and eventually potentially for balances over just $2,500. Yes… your passport may now care about your parenting plan too.

The government says the goal is simple: encourage parents to meet their legal and financial obligations to their children. And while social media loves a good “passport revoked” headline, the reality is this:

- Child support is not about punishment.
- It is about providing stability for children.
- Food, housing, healthcare, extracurriculars, and everyday expenses don’t stop because parents are no longer together.

Now… before anyone starts typing in ALL CAPS, we also know child support cases can become complicated. Job loss, income changes, unfair calculations, lack of access to children, and enforcement issues are all very real concerns that deserve proper legal attention.

But one thing is certain:
Ignoring the issue rarely makes it better.

If you are behind, it may be time to seek a modification, negotiate a payment plan, or address the matter proactively before travel plans turn into “staycation plans.”

What are your thoughts on passport revocations for unpaid child support?
Do you think this is an effective enforcement tool , or does it go too far?

Parents who owe more than $2,500 in back child support will soon have their U.S. passports revoked, the State Department announced.

There’s a narrative people create when they learn that I operate my law firm while living abroad.

To some, it sounds like nonstop sunshine, margaritas, ocean views, and freedom.

And yes… there are beautiful moments. I’m grateful for them all.

But what people don’t always see is the weight that comes with building something unconventional.

Running a law firm across borders means constantly having to prove that innovation and professionalism can coexist. It means people quietly wondering whether you can really handle complex cases from another country. Whether your systems are solid.

Whether your reach extends “across the water.” Whether your presence still carries authority when it no longer looks traditional.

The truth is: entrepreneurship leaves very few places to hide.
Especially when you choose a path that challenges what people think success is supposed to look like.

There are days filled with strategy calls, deadlines, court preparation, difficult conversations, and navigating technology, time zones, logistics, and leadership; all while carrying the responsibility of clients trusting you with some of the hardest moments of their lives.

Innovation sounds exciting until you become the person testing the theory in real time.

Still, I would not trade this experience for anything.

Because this journey has forced me to build systems instead of dependency. Vision instead of appearances. Discipline instead of performance.

It has also taught me that freedom is not the absence of responsibility ; it’s learning how to carry responsibility differently.
So no, it’s not always sunshine and margaritas.

Sometimes it’s courage, risk, reinvention, long hours, and faith.
But maybe that’s what building an unconventional life and practice really looks like.

I’m curious --- Have you ever chosen a path that made people question you simply because it looked different from the norm?

This Mother’s Day, we honor the women…

the aunties…
the bonus moms…
the godmothers…
the grandmothers…
the chosen family…
the nonbinary nurturers…
and the ones who mother without ever being called “Mom.”

Because motherhood isn’t just biology.

It’s sacrifice.
It’s protection.
It’s guidance.
It’s legacy.

At Lamar Legal Group, PLLC we see motherhood through a different lens.

It’s the grandmother who held everything together, but didn’t have a will.
It’s the co-parent navigating change while protecting peace.
It's the same-sex parent fighting for rights not readily available.
It’s the business owner building something her children; and her children’s children can inherit.
It’s the person who stepped in when no one else did.

Motherhood is love in action; and too often, that love goes unprotected.

So today, we don’t just celebrate you.

We remind you:

Protect what you’re building.
Secure what you’ve sacrificed for.
Put your wishes in writing.
Make sure your love lasts beyond you.

Because legacy isn’t just what you leave behind;
it’s how you make sure the people you love are covered when you’re no longer here to do it yourself.

Happy Mother’s Day to ALL who mother in their own way.

We see you. We honor you. And we’re here to help you protect it all.

The sun always comes back.

No matter how long the storm…
No matter how heavy the season…

The sun always finds its way through.

Lately, I’ve been reminding myself of that, and giving myself permission to pause long enough to feel it.

As professionals, we pour so much into our work, our clients, our responsibilities…
but we can’t forget to pour back into ourselves.

Because clarity requires stillness.

Peace requires intention.

And the life we’re building deserves a version of us that is whole -not just productive.

So, this is your reminder (and mine):

Step outside.
Breathe deeper.
Let the sun hit your face.
Not everything needs to be rushed.

Some things---like healing, like growth, like becoming - require time.

And just like the sun…
you will rise again too. ☀️

WELL, HELLO, 2026!

A new year always brings that feeling of a fresh page; but here’s a little reminder:

You don’t need a brand-new dream.

Sometimes you just need to finish what you started.

If this is your year to:

Finalize a divorce you’ve been putting off,

File that custody modification you know is necessary,

Finally, protect your business with a trademark,

Get serious about estate planning and securing your legacy,

Restructure your assets, your boundaries, or your peace...

Then here’s your gentle push: it’s not too late.

You are not behind.

You’re right on time.

Fresh starts don’t require perfection; just decision and direction.

And every step you take now sets the tone for the rest of your year.

Let 2026 be the year you choose clarity over chaos.

Protection over procrastination.

And growth over fear.

Cheers to a year of courage, completion, and choosing yourself in every way that matters.

As this year comes to a close, I want to share something honestly, entrepreneur to entrepreneur.

This was not the year I envisioned for Divorce Retreat.

I had big goals, bold ideas, and what I thought would be powerful momentum around a concept that I truly believe in:

a healthier, more intentional way for couples to transition out of marriage,

asset protection without warfare,

a dignified “divorce differently” experience.

But if I’m being real… the momentum wasn’t what I hoped for.

There were challenges, delays, slower understanding of the concept, and the realization that when you’re building something new, education has to come first.

Divorce Retreat is innovative. It’s compassionate. It’s disruptive.

And disruptive ideas take time to land.

So instead of questioning the vision, I’m choosing to honor the process.

Planting seeds isn’t glamorous. Nurturing an idea isn’t fast.

But the foundation is forming, and I’m learning, adjusting, and preparing the ground for a stronger 2026.

To every entrepreneur reading this who feels the tension between vision and results…

who launched something that didn’t take off the way you planned…

who is carrying both hope and disappointment into the new year:

You’re not alone.

You’re not failing.

You’re building.

Some seasons are about growth.

Some seasons are about grinding.

And some seasons...like this one, are about GROUNDING.

Here’s to reflection, resilience, and the courage to keep going, even when no one sees the seeds under the soil.

Happy New Year’s Eve!

May clarity, creativity, and renewed momentum meet you in 2026.

And if you’re ready to move forward with dignity, not drama, our Divorce Retreat may be the next right step.
