as long as the payments are current, yes. see below
Child Support Payments and Getting a U.S. Passport
Section 51.70 (a) (8) of Title 22 of the Code of Federal Regulations states, in part, that if you are certified to Passport Services by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to be in arrears of child support payments in excess of $5,000, you are ineligible to receive a U.S. passport . If this applies to you, Passport Services strongly recommends that you contact the appropriate State child support enforcement agency to make payment arrangements before applying for a passport. This is because:
The State agency must certify to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that acceptable payment arrangements have been made.
Then, HHS must notify Passport Services by the removal of your name from the electronic list HHS gives to Passport Services. (Passport Services cannot issue a passport until your name has been deleted by HHS.)
Please note that it can take 2-3 weeks from the time you make payment arrangements with the State agency until your name is removed from HHS' electronic list. Passport Services has no information concerning individuals' child support obligations and has no authority to take action until HHS removes your name from its list.
Please direct any questions to the appropriate State child support enforcement agency. You may go to the Department of Health and Human Services - State Child Support Enforcement Web Site for a listing of HHS state and local agencies.

Child Support laws differ from State to State. Contact your state family services division and ask them what the particular laws in your state are.
There are not any restrictions on travel that I could find, but that does not mean there are none.

Of course.
Just make sure your payments are current and that there is no warrant out for you for non-payment or else you will be in for a big surprise when you try to re-enter the country.
