Federal Parent Locator Service

The Federal Parent Locator Service (FPLS) is a U.S. government tool designed to help locate parents who are missing or not fulfilling their child support obligations. It assists custodial parents, state agencies, and courts by providing access to information about the non-custodial parent's location, employment, and financial status. The FPLS uses data from various federal and state agencies to trace absent parents, aimed at ensuring that children receive the financial support they need. It plays a vital role in child support enforcement efforts across the country.
