Tracking Down an Ex-Partner for Child Support – We Help You Get the Support Your Child Deserves.
When an ex-partner avoids their legal responsibility to pay child support, it can create significant financial and emotional stress. At Private Detective Leeds, we specialise in locating individuals who have gone off the radar in order to evade their obligations. Our expert team uses legal, ethical, and professional tracing methods to find their current address — so you can take the next step in claiming what your child is rightfully owed.
Why You May Need to Locate an Ex-Partner
Unfortunately, some individuals deliberately move house, change contact details, or disappear in an attempt to avoid paying child maintenance. If this happens, the Child Maintenance Service (CMS) or legal system cannot act until they have verified the individual’s current whereabouts. That’s where we come in.
We provide discreet, fast, and accurate address tracing services that help you re-establish contact and move forward with your legal claim.
What Happens Once the Ex-Partner Is Located?
Once we’ve successfully traced your ex-partner and confirmed their new address, you can notify the Child Maintenance Service (CMS) or your solicitor. They will then take the appropriate legal steps to recover any arrears and enforce payment of ongoing child support.
We’ll provide you with a clear, concise report containing the verified address and relevant information, allowing you to act quickly and with confidence.
How Long Does an Address Trace Take?
On average, an address trace takes up to one week to complete. The duration depends on the amount and accuracy of the initial information you provide, and how much the individual has tried to conceal their location.
Our experienced investigators use advanced tracing systems, databases, and discreet enquiries to locate individuals efficiently and legally.
Is This a No-Win/No-Fee Service?
We do not operate on a no-win/no-fee basis for this type of investigation. Our fixed-fee service reflects the specialist tools, skills, and legal resources used to complete the trace.
At Private Detective Leeds, we pride ourselves on being fully transparent with our fees. There are no hidden charges — you’ll know exactly what you’re paying for before we begin the investigation.
