I had to buy a new bike for $700 and put it on my credit card, which I'm still paying interest on.

I'm in California and living in a house with someone who is very sick in the hospital. His stepson is asking me to leave, claiming I'm not wanted anymore. My children's rooms are needed for a nurse and medical equipment. I'm not married to the person, and I have a part-time job, making it hard to find a decent place to move to. What are my rights and what steps should I take to protect myself from being forced out?

The law states that you can have a passport if child support arrears are $2500.00 or less, but restricts renewal above $5000.00. My passport has been restricted due to child support arrears in excess of $5000.00. As my position requires me to travel outside of the US, this places an enormous strain on me as my employment is now in jeopardy. Is there any way that I can have this restriction lifted to allow me to continue my employment?
