The Michigan Affidavit of Efforts To Locate Absent Parent is a legal document that is used to document the steps that a custodial parent has taken to locate an absent parent. This document is typically required by the court when a custodial parent is seeking a child support order or to enforce a court order for child support. The document is used to demonstrate that the custodial parent has made an effort, to the best of their ability, to locate the absent parent and that the custodial parent is not intentionally avoiding the absent parent. There are two types of Michigan Affidavit of Efforts to Locate Absent Parent. The first is a Domestic Affidavit of Efforts to Locate Absent Parent, which is used when both parents live in Michigan. The second is an Interstate Affidavit of Efforts to Locate Absent Parent, which is used when the absent parent lives in a state other than Michigan. Both documents require the custodial parent to provide detailed information about their attempts to locate the absent parent, including efforts to locate their current address, employment, or other contact information.
