More details to this question:
Hi. I am a college student, and I'm currently struggling with my finances. I have no idea where my father is, but he owes my mother approximately $6,000 in child support, and that's with my mom being nice and asking for the minimum amount. I need that money for college, but I have no idea how to find him. He may be out of the country, but who knows? I want to know, if I sue him, will he be found? I need to find him. If I can't sue to find him, is there another method? Thank you in advance.

You or your mother has to find him. There is no other method. A judgment is a piece of paper. You as the potential judgment creditor have to find him in order to collect the judgment. There are lawyers who have expertise is locating deadbeats.
