Answer 1

A bounty hunter can go after him if there is a warrant out for his arrest. if there isn't I think there could be a legal issue with them doing that. Check with your child support agency to see if a warrant has been or could be issued and then proceed with your plan.

Answer 2

There are bounty hunters, also known as bail bond enforcement agents, fugitive recovery agents or skip tracers. Most of their work comes from bondsmen when a client of theirs does not show up for court. If you're arrested and are given bail the court says you need to pay a certain amount to stay out of jail. You find a bondsmen and pay a certain amount of bail (often 10%) and you are free, however the bondsmen is effectivly your jailor and ensures you show up for court. In our system if the accused is on bail and does not show to court the bondsman must pay all of the bail that is set by the court. Since they don't get all the money from the person on bail this means they lose quite a bit. For the bondsman to keep the bail money and effectivly get paid he needs to ensure the "skip" is there within a certain time frame. These bounty hunters find the skip and bring him in, in exchange they get a percentage of the bond. They do not go after people with a warrant but people that have been arrested to be in court and do not show up.

This is how nearly all bounty hunters operate so you would need to find one first that is willing to take the job, which may be difficult. Since their neck is on the line for their actions it is unlikely you would find one willing to do this if it is not legal. This does not mean they know for certain it is legal.

As for the legality of the situation mentioned it depends on details of that situation. These bounty hunters are able to arrest the skips because of the way the bond process works. Depending on the local laws where the parent is being a deadbeat and those where they are located and the legal details of the case you may or may not be able to engage such an agent the same way.

Check with an attorney.

Answer 3

No, bounty hunters do not hunt people who are merley wanted by the police.

Bounty hunters today are really "Bail Enforcement Agents"
They only hunt people who have been arrested, and were given bail. If the person skips out on bail, than a bounty hunter can go after them.

If they transported the perosn across state lines, they would be kidnapping, since the person was not given his right to extradiction. In bail bond, this is not a right they have.

You can hire a private dect to find him and arrange to have him arrested by local police in OK ( if IL is willing to extridite him back, many states won't pay for them to be bought back)

Answer 4

arrest is the wrong word, if the facts where a deadbeat parent was behind in their child support payments in Oklahoma to amount of 14K a arrest warrant was issued for dead beat parent to which the dead beat parent was arraigned in court bail was set and trial date set.

Then the dead beat parent fled to Illinois missing the trail date their for even though an arrest warrant was issued for failure to appear the bounty hunter authority comes from a old us supreme court case which up held the right of the bails bonds man or their agent when a client breach's the bail contract have broad rights even more the police to bring that person into custody

Answer 7

If there is a legal warrant for that person's arrest, sure.

If it is a civil (not criminal) matter, then no, you cannot force them to be transported.

Just pay up sunshine. If you leave it any longer you'll owe more and the government will come after you pretty hard.
