Effective Skip Tracing for Child Support Cases: How a Long Island Private Investigator Can Help

Ever felt like you’re carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders, trying to raise a child without the financial support that was promised? Unfortunately, many parents in New York City and Long Island know this struggle all too well. When child support payments stop and the other parent seems to vanish, it’s not just stressful—it can be life-altering.

This is where a private investigator in Long Island can make a real difference. At Easton Secure Solutions LLC, we specialize in skip tracing for child support cases, helping custodial parents and their legal teams locate individuals who have tried to dodge their responsibilities. Our goal is simple: to restore stability, ensure children receive the support they deserve, and provide parents with peace of mind.

 
Why Locating Non-Compliant Parents Matters

Child support isn’t just about money—it’s about a child’s right to a safe, stable, and supported upbringing. Payments often cover essentials like food, clothing, housing, school supplies, and healthcare. When those payments disappear, the child suffers most.

We’ve worked with many parents across NYC and Long Island who felt hopeless after months of unanswered calls, empty bank accounts, and a missing co-parent. One mother came to us after struggling to pay for her child’s asthma medication because support had stopped for nearly a year. Within weeks, our skip tracing efforts located the father—who had quietly moved to another borough and started working under a new employer. With our evidence, her attorney secured a wage garnishment, and payments resumed.

That’s the kind of real impact we aim for: not just finding someone, but making sure the child’s needs are once again being met.

 
How a Private Investigator Helps in Child Support Cases

Hiring a PI might feel like a last resort, but for many families, it’s the step that finally brings closure. Here’s how we approach child support investigations at Easton Secure Solutions:

1. Advanced Database Searches
We legally access investigative databases that provide updated information such as addresses, employment records, and contact history. Unlike public searches, these resources are more reliable and accurate, helping us track down someone who has “disappeared.”

2. Social Media and Digital Footprints
From Instagram vacation posts to LinkedIn job updates, people often leave behind clues online. By carefully piecing together digital activity, we can confirm where someone lives, works, or frequently spends time.

3. Surveillance When Needed
Sometimes, boots-on-the-ground work is necessary. Our investigators conduct discreet surveillance to verify living arrangements, employment, or lifestyle claims that may contradict a non-compliant parent’s financial excuses.

4. Network and Associate Checks
Friends, relatives, and coworkers can unintentionally reveal a subject’s location. We approach these leads with tact and confidentiality, ensuring that the case is handled with the professionalism it deserves.

Each of these methods is carried out within the boundaries of New York law, always with respect for privacy and ethics.

Leveraging Technology in Skip Tracing

Technology has revolutionized the way we conduct investigations. At Easton Secure Solutions, we utilize:

• Digital footprint analysis to track patterns in online behavior.
• Comprehesive tools to uncover hidden assets and other public records.
• Change-of-address records (such as USPS NCOA and proprietary updates) to identify when someone relocates.

By staying ahead of the curve, we often locate individuals more quickly than traditional methods alone would allow.

For parents, this means faster results, less time in limbo, and a quicker path to resuming critical child support payments.

 
Working Hand-in-Hand with Attorneys

Our work doesn’t stop at locating someone’s digital trail—we take the extra step to confirm their new address through surveillance and verification. Accuracy is everything in child support cases, and we know attorneys need solid proof before moving forward in court.

That’s why we provide detailed, court-ready reports that document a subject’s residence, movements, and living arrangements. By confirming where someone actually resides, we give family law attorneys the foundation they need to file for enforcement, whether that means contempt actions, updated service of legal papers, or other remedies.

Think of us as the bridge between uncertainty and action. By confirming a subject’s new address and backing it up with professional documentation, we equip attorneys to hold non-compliant parents accountable and get support flowing again.

 
Real-Life Scenarios Where Skip Tracing Works

Case 1: Hidden Relocation
A non-compliant father relocated from Long Island to upstate New York without leaving a forwarding address. Through skip tracing, we uncovered his new residence and confirmed his place of living. With this verified information, the client’s attorney was able to move forward with enforcement actions, ensuring support obligations were back on track.

Case 2: False Claim of Disappearance
Another subject claimed to have “moved away” and cut off all contact, leaving the custodial parent with no way to reach them. Our skip tracing revealed the individual was still living in Queens under a new address. By providing the updated location, we gave the attorney the information needed to pursue legal remedies and restore compliance.

These examples highlight how our services not only locate people who attempt to disappear but also directly contribute to securing financial stability for children.

 
Dispelling Myths About Hiring a PI for Child Support Cases

Many parents hesitate to hire a PI because of misconceptions:

1. “Is it even legal?” — Yes. Licensed private investigators in New York operate under strict legal guidelines and work hand-in-hand with attorneys.
2. “Won’t it be too expensive?” — In reality, the cost of a PI often pays for itself when overdue support is finally enforced.
3. “Can’t I just do it myself?” — While basic online searches are possible, most “do-it-yourself” methods lack accuracy. A professional investigator has access to tools and expertise the public cannot legally obtain.

By choosing a licensed PI, you ensure your case is handled discreetly, professionally, and within the law.
