You should contact the local U.S. Consulate. You can apply for a passport renewal there. They can also advise you about the impact of owing back child support. You may be required to take care of the back child support.

This is not really an immigration question. You will need to consult with a family law attorney about the effect of the failure to pay child support on the passport application.

I am not sure if you will be able to renew it- if there is a warrant out for your arrest, then probably not. You need to deal with the money you owe in child support anyway, right? So I would contact the attorney who handled that case for you to try to work out a payment plan or else to pay up on what you owe to support your children. Then the US government should issue you a passport but again, if there is a warrant, you will want to then hire a criminal attorney to get that cleared for you.
