Attorney General Greg Abbott needs your help locating Child Support Evader Michelle Falco, one of the Most Wanted Child Support Evaders in Texas. Falco, who was added to the Child Support Evader's list in May 2009, owes $50,109 for the care of two children from the Dallas area.
In 1994, Falco was ordered to make child support payments of $276 per month. Falco, who had the ability to make her payments, did not follow the court's order to support her children financially. At a September 2005 enforcement hearing, she was found to owe more than $40,000. In May 2008, after being given many opportunities to obey the civil court order to pay child support, a Dallas County grand jury indicted Falco for criminal nonsupport.
Falco has not made a single payment in more than two years. By refusing to provide the financial resources her children need, Falco has turned her back on her children and violated the law. A combination of missed payments and interest that accrues on unpaid child support adds up to more than $50,000 in unpaid child support Falco now owes.
Investigators from the Office of the Attorney General have searched the state for Falco. Her last known address was in Algonquin, IL. She is reported to be traveling with two small children - a girl, age seven and a boy, age six. Falco may be working for cash or self-employed to avoid garnishment of wages to pay child support. Contact the Attorney General's Office at (866) EVADERS (382-3377) to report information that may lead to the arrest of Michelle Falco.

Texas law requires the Office of the Attorney General to publicly identify certain parents who are delinquent in the payment of child support. The Child Support Evaders are selected because they have the ability to take responsibility for their children but refuse to do so. Incarceration is the only option for parents who repeatedly ignore court orders to pay child support. The Attorney General's Office helps parents who lack the ability to pay child support by referring them to job training and employment services.
