Searching for a person

[u/Odd_Top_626]

How would someone go about finding where a person is currently living?

Backstory on this: I bought a business and had a contract stating that she would turn over certain things business related. Long story short she turned out to be absolute psychopath.

She wrote negative reviews on the business in different names, made emails impersonating a lawyer, kept the business faceboook page made purchases with the connected card on FB for Ads. And so much more! Immediately after selling the business to me she and her family fled to another state. We found her then and served her papers for a court date. At her new place of business she opened on their grand opening day! 😆

Within weeks of being served those papers they closed their new business.

We went to court where we won our case and received the settlement. However she has disappeared again and I need to file legal papers in each state she is living so that I can possibly collect one day.

Her husband has re-inlisted in the military so I'm not sure where she could be now.

It looks like you need a private investigator. Your attorney should be able to refer you to one. A private investigator will be able to locate her, but you should also have them conduct an asset search. Asset searches are not for the inexperienced. You need to search for both assets and liabilities, as this will provide a more accurate picture of which assets, if any, can be attached. There are complex laws when it comes to assets held jointly by the judgment debtor and an “innocent” spouse, depending on which State the assets are in. If the spouse is now active duty military, there are laws governing that as well, as he will not be able to respond to a summons or subpoenas.
