A complex investigation into any family matter starts with a case review of evidence, case goals, and putting
together the strategy to find the truth and document it. Investigation time averages between 15 - 30 hours +,
and we use everything in our toolbox to accomplish it. In-depth background investigation,
assets located, field stakeout, surveillance, interviews, undercover, cameras...
We have been doing these cases for 20+ years and have a very good idea of what it takes to accomplish your case successfully for court, and the investigative hours it will take to accomplish it.
COMPLEX FAMILY LAW DOMESTIC INVESTIGATIONS into divorce investigation, infidelity, physical abuse investigation, substance abuse investigation, child custody investigation, modification of spousal support or child support...
Family court is not a criminal court so they may not care if a parent is a dancer or drinks to excess at a bar,
as long as the child was not with them at that time and was left in proper care.
Infidelity investigations are the first thing people think
of when asked what a private investigator does.
It is one of the most common types of investigation cases, and we do work our fair share, but it is not our primary type of investigation case that we work.
Most people are jealous by nature. If they think the one, they love is interested in or seeing someone else they need to know. We are here to help you get proof
so, you can make an informed decision.
We believe it is best to discretely check on them first before accusing them and damaging a relationship if nothing were happening.
Most people will deny an affair when directly
asked and will often deflect that it is you that
is being unfaithful, or call you crazy, putting
you back on the defense.
If your gut tells you something is going on it often is, but if you accuse them repeatedly about where they were or of cheating and then hire an investigator you will be wasting your money for many reasons.
Some people, especially those who have experienced infidelity before may read more into a situation than is there. Like lunch with a co-worker. Could be romantic, or it could be just lunch. Best to check first.

Modification is a difficult type of investigation
to prove because they are:
You need proof:
You need a preponderance of evidence that this is an ongoing situation.
First, we will find out if they are or are not living together as domestic partners. If we find evidence
they are living together, we document and
get enough proof for your attorney in court.
This process takes a few months to complete.
We have a high rate of success with this type of case. Clients have had their monthly payment drastically reduced or dismissed awarding the
canceling of the spousal support payments.
In Arizona modification investigations have increased in the past few years because Arizona is a popular place for people to move to after a separation or divorce.
When you are looking to get court appointed child custody, as a parent, grandparent, or guardian we will get you the proof you need for your case.
We conduct a thorough interview with you to define the issues you need to prove in court to gain custody, then investigate, collect enough evidence and document it
all for your attorney to use in court.
We can testify in your court case as to what we witnessed and found out during our investigation.
There are many reasons to want to gain custody of
a child or children. Unfit parent, drugs, alcohol, neglect, living in a bad situation... Or you had your
child taken by child services and placed in foster
care while you went through rehabilitation
and want to regain custody.
The courts and protective services are supposed to be looking for the best interest of the child, however, this pendulum swings widely as to what that means.
The main issues the court looks at are what is done to the child or activities that were done in the
presence of the child.
