Locate Parents
We use many sources of information to try to find where a parent lives or works including:
- Public Assistance and Food Stamp records
- Motor vehicle registration and driver license records
- Department of Corrections records
- United States Postal Service
- Current and previous employers
- Quarterly wage and reemployment assistance (formerly unemployment compensation) claims data
- Law enforcement agencies, parole and probation offices
- Utility companies
- Business, professional and recreational licenses
It is important that you share information with us. Helpful information includes:
- Full name and other names that may be used
- Last known address and/or phone number
- Last known employer name, address and phone number and the kind of work they do/did
- Social Security number
- Date and place of birth
- Relatives’ names and addresses
- Military records
- Assets (home, business, cars, boats, etc.)
When we find the parent, we can move forward with establishing or enforcing a child support order.
