    Child Support Enforcement: Locating Non-Paying Parents

    How to locate non-paying parents and enforce child support orders using skip tracing, employment searches, and asset discovery.

    The Child Support Collection Challenge

    Millions of parents fail to pay court-ordered child support. Many move frequently, change jobs, or work under the table to avoid wage garnishment. Skip tracing is the first and most critical step in enforcement — you can't collect from someone you can't find.

    Our services help custodial parents, attorneys, and state enforcement agencies locate non-paying parents and identify their employment and assets for enforcement.

    Location & Employment Discovery

    Our comprehensive skip trace locates the non-paying parent's current address and phone numbers. Our employment search identifies their current employer, which is essential for wage garnishment — the most common and effective child support enforcement mechanism.

    For self-employed or under-the-table workers, our asset search reveals property, vehicles, and business interests that can be targeted through liens and seizure orders.

    Enforcement Options

    Once we've located the parent and identified their income and assets, enforcement options include: wage garnishment (automatic paycheck deductions), bank levies, tax refund intercepts, property liens, and in severe cases, contempt of court proceedings.

    Having accurate, current information about the non-paying parent's location, employment, and assets dramatically improves enforcement success rates.
