When a parent’s location is unknown, it doesn’t mean payments have to stop. The Oregon Child Support Program can help. We have access to state, federal, and national locate services to find where a parent lives or works so a child support order can still be enforced.

All we need are a few pieces of information, such as full name, date of birth, last known phone number or address, or employer to start searching. If the parent has moved out of state, we have access to the Federal Parent Locator Service (FPLS) to aid in the search.

Learn more about locating a parent by following the link in our bio.[
