We Pursue Pastdue Child Support in Difficult Situations

The United States General Accounting Office issued a report to Congress in March of 2002 based on their investigation into private child support enforcement agencies. In that report they state that private enforcement agencies are handling some of the most difficult cases to pursue.

At CSRS, our typical cases are the most difficult to pursue.

In over half of our cases:

• The absent parent no longer resides in the state in which the order originated.
• The absent parent has made no payments in two years .
• The average arrearage is $12,500.00 dollars.
• The custodial parent has tried to enforce the order of support utilizing a private attorney and the help of their state child support enforcement office.

Our typical client:

• Has exhausted his or her resources on a private attorney.
• Has seen little or no meaningful action from their state enforcement agency in the last two years
• Is without any location information about the absent parent
• Is tired of fighting this battle alone.

Most clients say to us,

• "You will never collect anything from this absent parent"
• "You will never find the absent parent"
• "This parent would rather go to jail than pay"
• "This is a lost cause, this parent is a deadbeat"

Yet we are successful in 7 out of every 10 cases! As you can see, we expect the case to be difficult or you would be getting your money without our assistance.
