Will the Friend of the Court help find a missing parent?
Yes. The State and Federal governments have a Parent Locator Service that may be used to locate a parent for any of the following purposes:
- To collect child support.
- To obtain a court order on a child custody or parenting-time matter, or enforce an existing order of either type.
- to enforce State or Federal law prohibiting the unlawful taking or restraint of a child.

When using the Parent Locator Service, the following information is very helpful:
- The missing parent's full name, date of birth, and social security number.
- The missing parent's last know address.
