Infidelity can affect up to 20% of married couples and cause emotional turmoil for the other partner. Learning about infidelity and going through the process of divorce can be challenging without any solid evidence, which is where the expertise of a PI comes into play.
Going off suspicion is not the best way for you to prove infidelity, especially if you want to get financial or emotional compensation during a divorce. St. George Investigations can help gather evidence that is needed in a divorce case, bringing closure and peace of mind to our clients. Here is a closer look at how our PIs handle infidelity cases.
What Is The Role Of A PI In Infidelity Cases?
Private Investigators do a lot of different types of investigations and surveillance that can be helpful for those trying to prove the infidelity of a spouse or partner. Following ethical and legal guidelines, private investigators will help you gain evidence that is admissible in court. Private Investigators will work to comb through phone records, financial statements, and surveillance to find concrete evidence of cheating.
In certain cases, PIs can help partners rebuild trust with one another and prove that both parties are innocent. Suspicions can lead to damaged relationships and mistrust for the future, unless someone is able to prove the suspicions and put rumors to rest with evidence.
Methods Used To Catch A Cheater
Private Investigators use different techniques to uncover infidelity, theft, or other criminal activity. Some of these techniques include:
- Surveillance
- Digital investigation and examination
- Financial tracking
- Behavioral analysis
- GPS tracking or hidden cameras
Each case is unique, meaning that PIs will have to use the most relevant techniques for your case. PIs will use these different techniques to help gather evidence that is helpful for your unique situation. For example, someone who suspects the infidelity is happening at their spouse’s workplace could benefit from financial tracking and surveillance. Those who have small suspicions could benefit from all techniques or an adaptable plan.
In a digital world, using digital footprints can reveal a lot about a person and their habits. Our team uses digital activities, financial transactions, and locations to help build a case against them. Investigating during infidelity cases can include looking through email exchanges, online dating profiles, social media accounts, and secret bank accounts.
What PIs Don’t Do During Investigation
Movies and TV have caused many to believe that PIs can use whatever means necessary to fuel their investigation. However, private investigators must follow the law and take necessary steps like other police officials when doing their job. Strict ethical and legal guidelines need to be followed during interviews or surveillance to ensure that the evidence can be used in court. Investigators need to follow privacy laws and consent while having a deep understanding of these laws. If information was not obtained legally or ethically, it could damage your court case and hurt the reputation of the private investigator.
How To Hire A Reputable Private Investigator
While you may want to work quickly to prove that your spouse is cheating, finding a quality private investigator can help you gather circumstantial evidence that will help you have a smoother divorce. Choosing a quality private investigator ensures that all parties maintain their privacy, the client gets what they pay for, and that the evidence gathered is truthful.
Spouses who suspect their partner of infidelity should not involve their friends or family in gathering evidence. Many people will cheat in their inner circle, so telling others who you both associate with could get messy. It is also not professional, legally sound, or safe for the friend you ask to help sleuth for you. Don’t put friends, family, or co-workers at risk or in potential legal trouble by hiring a trusted private investigator.
