Private Investigator Question

Have any of you ever hired a PI to locate someone? The person in question is a dead beat dad who seems to be too elusive for the Bureau of Child Support Enforcement. Last we heard from him was beginning of December 2013. Kids called and texted him to death with no regular return contact. He constantly changes his cell phone numbers and began working cash jobs to avoid the child support wage garnishment that was part of the support judgement. The number we had for him is no longer in service but occasionally the kids will get a random text to their phones from him so as far as we know he ain't dead yet.
Is it expensive? Waste of time? What access would a PI have that is not public?
I guess we just don't know where to begin looking for him on our own and someone suggested a PI. Child support enforcement is a joke so they have been no help. Family and friends have no experience with hiring one and thought maybe someone here has some insight.

Seems like a lot of effort for little payoff

why don't you step up and take care of this ho's kids?
if the dude was as much of a deadbeat as you make him sound, i would want him away from my family.

Just ask him to sign over all legal rights to you that way he is out of the picture forever.

Post his name here. The OT detectives will have him located by midnight.

Yes, they are expensive. So if this guy doesn't make shite it might not be financially worth it.

The PI will squeeze more money from you than what you'll recover from the ex.

whats the childrens mother look like?
Posted on 5/26/14 at 10:18 pm to SJS101
honestly, if the dude doesn't want to be associated with his kids, then there is not much that you can do to make that happen...sounds to me like you are gonna spend an assload of cash to find him, and just that fast, he'll disappear again...back to the same situation...

Maybe just get a lawyer and have him thrown in jail. That's what we are working on, financial help from my wife's ex would be nice with teenage girls but I'm not concerned with it. Wife is working on landing him in jail, I don't see it happening.

Be very careful using a PI. You will go through a lot of money very quickly. I would walk entirely away from the bastard and don't ever look back.

<----used to be a PI and have some friends in the business. Didn't read the whole OP, but yes it can be very expensive. Probably around $65.00+/hr. Not sure what area you live in, but I know of some that I wouldn't trust to do a thorough job and that will just take your money.
There are data collection services available that PIs subscribe to that the average Joe does not/cannot get access to. The info (particularly the SSN) is usually partially redacted. They require proof of licensing, etc. The ones you see advertised as free are crap.
I don't know this first hand and am not endorsing this because it's not legal and can get you/LEOs in a shite load of trouble, but if you have a trusted acquaintance in law enforcement they can get you some info on the person in question. Or so I've heard.
