I am dating a man whose license got suspended due to back child support. He is now caught up, but his ex-wife says if she releases his license that it will cancel out her child support totally. Can that be true?

Probably not. Child support is constant until 1) the child dies 2) the child becomes a legal adult 3) a judge says otherwise. He needs to talk to a lawyer or at least the DMV and get the whole thing worked out because it doesn't sound like she knows what she is talking about. She probably just wants to make him suffer or is worried that without this leverage she won't get his continuing payments.
Run don't walk away from this guy. He did not pay to take care of his children. Not a good track record. He may be nice but not a good choice for a relationship.
She doesn't release it, the court does. She has nothing to do with it-its not up to her, as child support is paid to the state or county court, who then passes it to the parent that has the child. Sounds to me like he has not caught it up and is not being truthful to you.
This is the law in Washington state which appears to be pretty standard.

It isn't up to the mom, but the posters are right about one thing. He is not dating material. It's kind of like cheating, if they will do it with you they will do it to you. There was nothing says you won't get pregnant and he will have two reasons to not drive.
I would check with the office who is collecting the child support. They are the ones who will release his suspension, not his ex. Have him call or go there and find out the answers for himself she is telling him wrong. Glad to here he is caught up.
