What Is A Child Custody Investigation?
Deciding to hire a private investigator to conduct a child custody investigation can be a difficult and emotional time in one’s life. A licensed child custody private investigator understands custody battles are often fueled with emotion and allegations against the other party. It can become a trying and confusing time, filled with a rollercoaster of emotions. It also affects each parent financially. Too many times the child in question is used as a pawn or leverage from one parent to the other. It is the job of a private investigator to sift through hearsay and report the facts. An investigator’s duties range from collecting evidence, running background and social media investigations, and surveillance. The more evidence you are able to provide the court, the more successful you will be at winning your child custody case. This information will help assist with if either party is being neglectful, abusing the child, or living a lifestyle that is not deemed safe for the child in question. The decision to hire a child custody investigator can make or break a legal dispute.
How Can A Child Custody Investigator Help With My Case?
There are many different methods an investigator can utilize to assist with a child custody investigation. This includes:
- Conducting a Background Check: A private investigator will run a thorough background check to obtain information on the case. A background check can help disclose if someone’s license is expired, they have been arrested, have any judgments/bankruptcies, financial standing, drug use, and more. A background check can also assist with disclosing who a subject is currently residing with, and if any of the people in the home may be problematic for a child to be around.
- Social Media Investigations: Social media investigations allow investigations to conduct a deep dive into the internet to find out a subject’s social media presence, gaining more evidence for court. By doing so, an investigator can determine patterns, the emotional health of a parent, and who the parent associates with online. A social media investigation can also help determine where an individual is going and develop any patterns for surveillance.
- Locate: Are you looking to verify where the child’s other parent is living? We will be able to find their current location.
- Surveillance Investigation: Surveillance during a child custody investigation is the most popular type of investigation to conduct. By conducting surveillance, a private investigator can monitor people’s daily activities. Surveillance investigations can disclose if individual drinking and driving, using drugs, reckless driving, gambling, substance abuse issues, individuals they interact with, or anything that may negatively influence the child. This allows the investigator to determine the physical and emotional health of an individual.
