Divorce Investigations
Divorce is a lengthy and emotionally taxing process that requires a great deal of proof and information, some of which can be difficult to obtain. The ultimate goal of divorce is to ensure the final result is fair, especially regarding money, assets, and children, by making sure no one is hiding the truth. Private investigators can help you in your divorce by gathering the evidence needed to protect your interests and future. Divorce is already hard enough on a family; let our team do the digging for you.
How PI’s Gather Evidence
Private investigators have access to tools and techniques beyond the reach of the average person, but they aren’t above the law. To ensure that the evidence they find can be used in divorce proceedings, they gather evidence through surveillance, tailing, digital & social media forensics, financial analysis, and background checks. Through those tactics, private investigators will be able to assist you in gaining evidence to support you in your divorce.
Child Custody Investigations
Issues of child custody can get messy in the midst of a divorce. Divorce investigations can help the court make a decision that is in the child’s best interest. If you are worried that your ex-spouse isn’t providing a safe and loving environment for your children, private investigators can step in to gather information. Information regarding your ex-spouse’s lifestyle, parental fitness, and the safety of your children’s environment can help you substantiate your claims.
Infidelity Investigations
Proving that a spouse is cheating can be difficult. If you suspect your spouse is cheating, private investigators can gather information on where and with whom your spouse is spending their time. The evidence gathered by private investigators can be crucial to helping you strengthen your legal case during divorce when it comes to alimony, asset division, or child custody.
Financial Investigations
The nitty-gritty of finances during divorce can create a lot of contention. Ensuring that the facts about you and your spouse’s finances and other assets are correct is vital during divorce proceedings. If you believe that your spouse is misrepresenting their finances or hiding assets from you, private investigators can help you uncover the truth about all the finances involved in your divorce, and help you get what you deserve.

ContactDoes My Spouse Know They Are Being Investigated?
The short answer is no. The main goal of private investigators is to remain completely undetected. It is pivotal that your spouse doesn’t suspect they are being investigated, so they don’t alter their behavior or work harder to hide things. Private investigators maintain their invisibility by using unmarked vehicles and other advanced technology and techniques to blend into an environment and not draw attention to themselves.
While private investigators can gather evidence and stay hidden, it’s important that the client remains discreet as well. You must maintain your routines and avoid telling friends and family that you have hired a private investigator in order to preserve the secrecy of the investigation.
Why You Should Hire A Professional
Though it may seem easy to do your own surveillance or digital research, hiring a professional to do a divorce investigation for you is essential to maintaining the integrity of the case. Evidence gathered by an emotionally involved spouse in court proceedings is often depicted as bias, stalking, and harassment. A private investigator’s findings are viewed by judges and attorneys as objective and credible. Because private investigators are trained in the specific rules that must be followed in obtaining evidence, they ensure that the evidence can actually be used in court.
Divorce is a life-altering transition that demands a lot of your energy. By entrusting a private investigator to manage the intrusive process of uncovering the truth, you take a burden off your shoulders so you can focus on the other important aspects of divorce. We handle the heavy lifting of the investigation so that you can step away from the conflict to try to focus on your future instead of the past.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can a private investigator access my spouse’s private text messages or listen to their phone calls?
While investigators use advanced digital forensics, they must operate within the law. Generally, PIs cannot illegally "hack" into a private device or record phone conversations without consent if it violates wiretapping laws. Instead, they focus on social media forensics and publicly available digital footprints to establish patterns of behavior or identify unknown associates. -
At what point in the divorce process should I hire an investigator?
It is often most effective to hire an investigator before filing for divorce or in the very early stages. Once papers are served, spouses often become hyper-vigilant and may begin hiding assets or changing their behavior. Starting an investigation early allows the PI to capture "baseline" behaviors and evidence while the spouse still believes they are unobserved.
