Child Custody Cases
We bring you certainty when you are concerned about the safety of your child.
Child custody cases involve disputes concerning children between divorced/separated parents.
Private investigations in these types of cases examine the child’s well-being and treatment in an objective manner. This is documented by evidence and reports which can be presented in court where needed.
In some instances, our investigations show that the other parent is not unfit and takes good care of the child, which is important in giving our client peace of mind.
In other cases, our investigations show and document neglect of the child, which is often used for legal purposes and for obtaining full custody of the child.
In other situations, a parent may be falsely accused of abuse or neglect. Our private investigators assist in providing evidence of the falsity of the allegations, typically through interviews and careful research.

This is to obtain evidence of how the parent treats the child when he or she is not aware that any monitoring is taking place.
