I know for a fact he's still in Arkansas and in the Little Rock/North Little Rock area...will the Child Support Agency there find him anyway?

Thank you for all of the SUPPORTIVE answers.
I know his SSN, Driver's License #, and know where he banks at...this is the first time I've had to go through something like this...especially w/him leaving me and my children for OW.
This is for the kids, not me. And if they don't get $$ for awhile, at least their dad knows he is still financially obligated to them.
I have no idea where he's working...but I believe I'll find out soon.

Yeah, the two answers before me are obviously from men, who are probably dead-beat dads. If you have to serve the ex-husband, you can get his address from the driver's license people, though you may need a subpoena.
The other thing is to get a 'garnishment' against his income tax refunds, or his location from the IRS?
Do you have his Social security number? that will help track him.
Final note to those two answers about 'if he doesn't want to be a dad, why hound him for child support?' Well, if a guy doesn't want to be a dad and support his child, let him use a rubber, or get a vasectomy. I believe men who do not want to pay child support should be castrated, so they won't keep burdening society and single mom's with their offspring

Absolutely! CSA can do the job for free, but they sometimes take a long time since they are resource constrained and there are a lot of people needing their help. There are private companies who will find, collect, and deliver court ordered child support payments for/to you, but they charge a fee every month.
One of them that I've heard of is www.supportkids.com. Either way you go, there are ways of finding out where your husband is without him giving you an address. The more information you have about him to give to either CSA or the private agency though, the better. Good luck!

Look! Get a clue! you are wasting your life going after a dead beat. Why would you want to expose your child to a dead beat when that child could be reading a book or learning to cook. Don't count your mistakes. You need to change those mistakes into blessings. It was your poor choice to have a child with a man who either doesn't want children or doesn't want you. Either way don't let him turn your life into ruins and don't let him steal your time. Instead of concentrating on getting something from this guy concentrate on giving your full thoughts and attention to the child. After all this child will need more from you because you are a single parent. Leave the dead beat out of both of your lives and you will both be much happier in the long run.
If he paid you support and you decided to buy say a car and relyed on him to make the payements. How would you feel when they repossed the car and you couldn't get to your job? Be thankful you have a child and that you can support him. Who needs those dead beats influancing innocent children?
By the way the choices you make to have a man like that make a baby with you affect not only you but the baby so think long and hard about your choices before bringing another life into this world. You were blessed this time with a child. Some people are never blessed with a baby or worse yet are blessed with a baby for a very short amount of time.
Children are blessings not curses or meal tickets. Move on from here to be productive and show that child how to live the best life you can

I am astounded by the answers that state you should just cut your losses and leave him alone. F that. You did not make the kid(s) by immaculate conception.
Sucks that you have to spend money to find him, but if you have to, you need to. A good Attorney will be able to find who is paying him and have those wages garnished. However, if he is self-employed or does not work, then you have big problems.
He needs to be offering to pay whatever is his fair share and more.
I have told my wife that if we ever split up and she gets custody and moves away, I am moving also..to wherever my son is. Nothing in this world will keep me out of his life. Nothing is trying to either, I am just making a point.
Reminds of a Chris Rock bit... He is talking about hearing guys brag saying stuff like, "sh it, I take care of my kids". His response..."That is what you are SUPPOSED to do, you can't brag about that".
Good luck, hope your kid(s) can get the financial support they deserve...very tragic that they will not be getting the emotional support of having Dad around.

i think of conflict and Peace substitute into shorter. yet while the state has been unable to collect on expenses owed, what makes you think of you will do extra desirable for new child help? however the alternative is what? economic benefit or the final emotional atmosphere for the new child? money is short-lived, right here immediately, long gone day after today. in case you're able to additionally get it. yet emotional stability sticks with the new child for the time of his grownup existence. you % that's interior the final pastime of the new child.

Contact your local prosecutor's office. They will probably have a special office just for child support. Depending on how behind he is, they can arrest him. You shouldn't have to pay to track him down, the prosecutor can do that for you. The best case scenario for you is that he is working. You are entitled to a portion of his earnings and your back support, if he doesn't pay, his wages will be garnished. If he is behind, you may even be entitled to his tax refund. Please don't listen to the losers on here that say to leave him alone. The money is not for you, it's ENTITLED to your child. His child, too. It takes money to raise a kid!

Yes, he can still forced to pay child support as long as your able to find him. id hire a private investagator to find him for you, then have him served. I hope he has a steady job or its impossible to collect. Good luck. By the way, I pay my child support and always will, I take care of my child.

Absolutely. And not only that, but you can collect back support, and there is no statute of limitations on it, so the more he avoids you, the worse it will get for him. Call your local Child Support Enforcement agency...or e-mail me, and I will help you.

Yes, if you go to the court and tell them that he moved and all and if he has a court order to pay child support then he has to pay it no matter what. If not he can go to jail.

Hello, spoke to a friend who is law school... said that you have to contact child services and they'll guide you through and it can be done.
