    Can you sue county or state for failure to collect child support?
    I haven't collected any child support on my 2 children. One is 19 and the other is 17 soon to be 18. I have a court order plus a judgement. Can I hold our local state child support agency responsible for failure to collect? We live in Tennessee. He doesn't show up for court dates. Has never attempted to pay. I need help!!

    You may sue them for all the fees and payments YOU made to them for attempting to collect this debt.

    You can hire a PI, find where he works, have them served garnishment papers. You can hire a PI and find his bank accounts and put a freeze on them.
