Often, when we imagine the typical day of a private investigator, it includes following a spouse suspected of cheating and photographing the wayward husband or wife in a compromising position. In reality, private investigators are often more involved after the divorce has occurred and legal agreements have been made as they relate to assets...and more importantly...the dependent children.


Investigating potential infidelity may provide evidence of what the concerned spouse already knows but desires to verify. Post-divorce investigations ensure that both parties are meeting their financial obligations and providing a caring and safe environment for their shared children.

When suspicions of financial dishonesty or child neglect become a concern, a qualified and experienced private investigator can help defend families through investigation in several ways, including:

  • Discovering Hidden Assets: Private investigators can uncover hidden bank accounts, real estate properties, and other assets that one party may be concealing to avoid fair distribution in a divorce settlement.

  • Documenting Substance Abuse: If there are concerns about a parent or guardian's substance abuse, private investigators can gather evidence, such as surveillance footage and witness testimonies, to support claims of unfit parenting.

  • Documenting Child Neglect/Abuse: Private investigators can observe and document instances of neglect or abuse, providing crucial evidence to protect the well-being of the children involved.

  • Cohabitation Verification: In cases where alimony payments are contingent on a former spouse's living arrangements, private investigators can verify whether the ex-spouse is cohabitating with a new partner, potentially impacting the terms of the alimony agreement.

  • Detecting Listening Devices: Private investigators have the expertise to detect hidden listening devices and surveillance equipment, ensuring that individuals are not being monitored unlawfully.

  • Deep Dive Criminal/Civil Backgrounds: Investigators can conduct thorough background checks to uncover any criminal or civil records that may impact custody or visitation rights.

  • Social Media Monitoring: By analyzing social media activity, private investigators can gather evidence of behavior or associations that may be relevant to the case.

  • Investigating Known Associates: Private investigators can look into the backgrounds and activities of individuals closely associated with the parties involved, providing a comprehensive understanding of potential influences on the case.
