Dead beat mother (yes I have custody) has not paid child support in over 2 yrs, well pretty much never, let alone seen him in that time(he is 8 now). She is over $5000 behind, I just moved to IL from FL like a year ago and need to transfer my case over, but FL was really slacking in getting her. They had told me I would have to pay for the P.I. to find her. Is it the same in Illnois or are thay more strict??? I know if it was me I would be in jail. Any info or help would be great!! Thanks

if you want faster results you will have to pay a PI to find her. otherwise you have to let the molasses child support services handle the case. they are always overloaded. and no, you would not have been in jail if it were you. did you know that it takes over 10 years for the state to actually issue a warrant for your arrest for non-payment of child support? they don't think it's that important.

If I were you, I'd raise my child, as you are, without her help or her interference. You will most likely never get the 'dead beat mother' to pay, so go on with your life and make a happy little family with your child and you. Trying to get her to pay will only cause you pain and worry, and affect your child.

I don't believe you have to pay to find her. I've recently filed a child support claim in Illinois and they said they will try to locate the father through his social security number and family members if need be. Good luck to you.
