Call 911. Do not wait on an investigation, and do not wait on us. If you are unsure whether what you are seeing rises to that level, the Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline at 800-422-4453 has counselors available around the clock to talk it through, and Childcare.gov explains how Child Protective Services works and how to make a report in your state. Those are the right first calls. We can help afterward.

We do not trespass. We do not record private conversations. We do not place tracking devices on vehicles we have no authority to track. We do not access anyone's phone, email, or accounts. And we do not approach, question, or attempt to interview your child. Beyond being unlawful in most cases, evidence gathered that way can be thrown out and can seriously damage your standing with a judge. Any investigator who offers to do these things is a risk to your case.

No. Interviewing children in a custody dispute is work for professionals appointed by the court, such as a guardian ad litem or a custody evaluator. An investigator questioning a child creates a real risk of the child being seen as coached, which harms the parent who arranged it.

Yes, within limits worth understanding. We document what is observable lawfully, such as parenting time, compliance with the custody order, the household environment, and who is present. That documentation goes to your attorney, who decides how and whether to use it.

They are prepared to professional standards with contemporaneous documentation, which is what gives a report credibility. Whether any particular evidence is admitted is decided by the court under the applicable rules. Anyone who guarantees admissibility is telling you something they cannot know.

Our investigations are conducted discreetly, using lawful methods from lawful vantage points. Discretion is central to how we work, though no investigator can promise a subject will never notice anything.

Most can begin within 24 hours of engagement. In custody matters the more useful question is usually timing rather than speed, because observations need to line up with the parenting schedule to show a pattern.

Then that is what our report says. It happens, and it is a real result. Many parents tell us afterward that knowing their child was fine was worth the cost on its own. We will not manufacture a concern to justify the fee, and we would rather hand you a clean report than a shaky allegation that falls apart in front of a judge.
