If the purpose of your search is to locate a deadbeat parent who owes child support payments, the Federal Parent Locator Service will be of great assistance. All that is required is that you provide them with the name and Social Security Number of the subject and then they will initiate a search. Once found they will also determine the financial status of the individual and help you recover what is owed.

You should be able to locate your local office in the telephone book under ‘Child Support Enforcement’.
