What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? TX and OH
Case is in OH Deadbeat is in TX
The ex and especially his wife are not good at keeping things a secret, or like to brag and simply do not know that a lien can be put on assets for payment of arrears.
*In 2008 ex told me that they were "buying" a home. At the time I was receiving regular payments toward support (443 a month) as well as payment towards the arrears (150 a month).
*He then lost his job in the beginning of 2009 and the payments were coming out of unemployment.
* He told me about a new job he had gotten in about April or May. It would require them to move. And so they did before the beginning of June.
*I received my last Support payment from his unemployment in August.
*He is currently 9964$ behind in support.
If you look at the information above, you can clearly see an overlap in employment and unemployment benefits. I'm tempted to turn him in for this, simply because he has proven so difficult in getting him picked up on the warrant he has for criminal non-support. If this gets him out in the open, then it will get him picked up on his warrant.
In looking for assets I found the current owner of the home he was buying, it was a rent to own situation. He referred me to the Fire Marshall
because the house was set on fire shortly after he and his wife moved the majority of their big ticket stuff out. The FM says it was clearly arson and they think it was him but currently lack the evidence to pin it on him. Interesting... But not an asset that I can use. He couldn't tell me if there was insurance, and I have no idea how to go about finding out that information.
They slipped up over summer visitation and told the kids that they were "buying a truck" from his employer, and that she was simply keeping his paychecks (2 of them) to pay for it. When asked about it he later denied it.
They (in her name though) own a vehicle, though I understand vehicles are depreciating and don't really help me with paying off the arrears or provide much of a lien.
Yesterday they slipped up and mentioned "going into town to pick up his new truck"... Ah new truck = possible asset.
I don't know how to locate assets other than what I have done already. There are tons of online companies that offer to search for assets and then there is the idea of hiring a PI. Then is becomes and weighing cost vs benefit.
Anyone worked with a reputable Asset search company? Are there ways I can find these things myself? Any help is appreciated.

Employer info: more asking advice than legal help IMO.
He still refuses to give me his employers information, and I have hesitated to contact her. I found her info from the tax records on the property, as well as doing a background search on her.
He is telling me that if I contact her he will file harassment charges on me for doing so. Thats BS right? One letter is not harassment... Right?
I have typed up a letter to her, but am having some trouble with this. He says he has contacted her and that she is also unwilling to follow the law. I don't believe this for a second and don't know if this letter should be written from the perspective that I believe they have talked about the issue of withholding, or to write it from the perspective that he hasn't said a word to her.
I know this part isn't exactly a legal matter but I am deferring to the vast amounts of wisdom on this site =D
Thanks
