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. This is why finding the right services and investigation firm is highly important to the securing of your child’s security and custody.
Root Investigations understands that a child custody investigation will not only affect a parent financially, but emotionally as well. Too many times we see the child in question being used as a pawn while each parent tries to make their side of the case. It is the job of a private investigator to sift through hearsay and report the facts. In order to secure the best results, we focus on tailoring our investigation and resources to the individual needs of our client.
An investigator’s duties range from collecting evidence, running background and social media investigations, OSINT investigations, and most importantly, physical 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 be exceptionally helpful if either party is being neglectful, abusive, or living a lifestyle that is not deemed safe for the child in question. The decision to hire a trained child custody investigator can make or break a legal dispute.
There are many different methods an investigator can utilize to assist with a child custody investigation. This includes:
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, if an arrest has occurred, if there are any judgments/bankruptcies, financial issues, drug use, and more. A background check can also assist with disclosing who a subject is currently residing with and if any of the other people in the home may be problematic for a child to be around. Root Investigations focuses not only on private sources, but also public sourced data, to do deep-rooted internet investigations – also known as “open-sourced” investigations. Our computer forensics team understands how vital this can be to make or break a case.
Social media investigations involve a deep dive into the internet to learn more about a subject’s social media presence. Sometimes these types of investigations will uncover evidence that can be presented to the court to help your case. Additionally, social media investigations can help expose things like patterns, the emotional health of a parent, and who the parent associates with online. Investigating a person’s social media presence might also produce information that can help investigators conduct successful surveillance operations. Alongside social media, our team focuses on solving your problem, using both automated and manual intelligence. We search, collect and analyze both open-sourced and private sourced data to help you win your case.
Are you looking to verify where the child’s other parent is living? We will be able to find their current location.
Surveillance during a child custody investigation is the most popular type of investigation to conduct. By conducting surveillance, a private investigator can monitor a person’s daily activities. Surveillance investigations can disclose if an individual is drinking and driving, using drugs, driving recklessly, is gambling, has any substance abuse issues, or anything other activities that may negatively influence the child.

Child custody cases are often stressful for everyone involved. This is why it’s extremely important to stay alert and look for any signs of abuse that might affect the child. Our investigators are trained to look for a variety of factors like:
Our main objective is to ensure that your child is going to be well taken care of, especially when they are not staying with you. In order to make this determination, we will often investigate your ex’s lifestyle to gain assurance that their living environment is not only safe, but beneficial to your child.
Who does your child associate with while being cared for? Is your child being introduced to potentially dangerous individuals? We determine who your child is residing with and if there are any potential threats inside the home.
Is your child being exposed to any illegal activity while being cared for by your ex? Does your ex have a criminal record? Our private investigators conduct background checks and surveillance to determine any potential illegal behavior. We will be there to capture any instances of irresponsible behavior.
Our investigators will be on the lookout for any signs of abuse, whether it is physical abuse, emotional abuse, or psychological abuse. If any signs of abuse occur, it will be recorded and presented to the court during your case.
Are you worried your ex is using and abusing illegal drugs or drinking and driving? Want to get your child’s custody to ensure security? Our detectives and investigators obtain any evidence of alcohol or drug abuse observed by a parent.
In addition to the above, if both parents are found to be unfit, we can conduct an investigation to determine if grandparents’ rights should be introduced. In New York State, grandparents have a legal right to see their grandchild in certain circumstances. This is especially true if the child’s parents are deemed unfit or interfering with the child’s relationship with their grandparents.
Is your ex attempting to turn your child against you? Our investigators will help you disclose the facts.
