Is there any technology to enhance ability to locate non-custodial parents?
A. Federal regulation 45CFR ยง303.3 requires that Child Support Enforcement agencies use all appropriate means to locate non-custodial parents (NCPs) and the sources of their income/assets, when needed to take necessary CSE actions. To assist, in part, with implementation of this requirement, North Carolina established ACTS which electronically interfaces with all appropriate sources to obtain and verify locate, asset and other information on the non-custodial parent. One such database is the Federal Case Registry (FCR), which hosts locate information from many sources including the Social Security Administration (SSA), the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and state agency data bases such as the Division of Motor Vehicles, Employment Security Commission and the Administrative Office of the Courts.
