I am trying to find my ex-husband who owes me over $80,000.00 in back child support arrears. I have good reason to believe that he is working for cash on the big Island of Hawaii. Is there anyway that I can find this dead-beat dad?

Have you tried googling his name, you'd be surprised how often that works.

If not you might want to consider a private investigator... maybe others will have other ideas

Your local child support unit is one suggestion. A licensed private investigator is another. If he is working for cash, of course, there is nothing for you to collect unless you can prove that he is working off the books.

I have Googled my ex-husbands name over the years and have always been able to find his current place of employment. He is a sociopath and loves attention and often leaves an "internet" trail of web pages, e-mail, blog postings, ect.

I once searched the county in which he resides to see if he owns any property. I found a house he owned and had notified the child support bureau, but because they were so short-handed, they didn't seek a lien until a year after I located the property, at which time they sent him a few threatening letters, which made him lapse on his house payments on purpose and move to another state. You can search for property free through free county property searches.

Just a word of caution, I have had trouble with the BCSE collecting the $50,000.00 he owes in back child support because he works for "shares" at his current company and has a bank account that is located out of the country. The BCSE is usually not willing to enforce these cases. You must be vigilant with BCSE, contact them frequently and stay on them or they will push your case aside for more easily enforced cases where the non-custodial parent is willing to make their payments.
