Child support is based on oft fictional "ability to pay" that may or may not be grounded in reality. Garnishing wages and seizing assets already has teeth and child support payments are already far more collectable than credit cards. Attacking licences in 99% of cases attacks ability to pay in a counterproductive fashion. The state should avoid "leverage" and stick to direct consequences like taking your money to give to your kids or taking licenses because people are unfit to drive. Shall we attach state ID next or ability to ride on public transit. Once you stop caring about principals and start justifying means based on ends you stop having a meaningful theory of how government ought to work.
