Child Welfare Investigations
Given the limited capacity of the courts to continuously oversee parental actions, it has become increasingly common for parents and attorneys to enlist the services of a private child custody investigator. Our investigators are instrumental in gathering the necessary evidence for a favorable case outcome. Such evidence may encompass daily interactions between parents and children, assessing whether a parent is actively engaged or frequently delegating responsibilities to others. Additionally, we investigate potential signs of physical or mental abuse, neglect or the presence of substance abuse during a parent's custodial periods. .

Ways a Private Investigator Can Assist in Child Custody Cases
The purpose of a child custody investigation is to assess the child's well-being and treatment, often within the context of a divorce or custody dispute. The primary objective is to secure the child's best interests and ensure their optimal care and living arrangements
Custody Violation
If you suspect the other parent or guardian is breaching the terms of your custody agreement, solid evidence is crucial for court proceedings. A private investigator can uncover proof of violations.
Abuse/Neglect
Child abuse and neglect are grave concerns demanding swift action. Engaging a private investigator can aid in collecting evidence to ensure your child's safety and facilitate their removal from a perilous environment.
Cohabitation
Cohabitation can impact custody arrangements and child support obligations. If you suspect the other parent is cohabitating but not disclosing it, a private investigator can uncover and provide evidence of such arrangements.
