Can I Hire a Private Investigator for My Child Custody Case?

After a divorce, a child custody case is often stressful and emotionally draining for everyone involved. Hard evidence can help cut through the noise of the case and help you get custody of your child. Frustrated with the court system, you may think about doing your own surveillance on your ex. However, doing so can lead to dangerous and unlawful situations. For instance, following your ex-spouse may lead to them calling the cops on you and obtaining a police report as evidence against your character. Instead, hire a professional who can provide quality covert information gathering.

Hiring a Private Investigator

You can hire a Tampa private investigator for child custody cases. The investigator can help you get the evidence you need to procure or maintain your custody rights. An investigator can watch your former spouse and detail any behavior, situation, or people that may put your child in danger. The evidence a private investigator records can be used in court as evidence in your custody hearing.

How a Private Investigator Can Help

An experienced private investigator will tailor their services to your specific needs. There are many services they can provide to assist in your custody case.

Covert surveillance: A private investigator uses advanced surveillance techniques, such as covert video and GPS tracking. The investigator may determine that your ex is neglecting your child or find seedy people spending time at their residence.

Third-party background check: Completing background checks on people your ex-spouse spends time with and may bring your child around can be useful in court. If your spouse is spending time around criminals, it would make the judge’s custody decision much easier.

Asset discovery: If your ex is trying to hide money to avoid paying child support, a private investigator can find the accounts or assets.

Witness interviews: A private investigator can speak with people involved in your child’s life, such as coaches, teachers, or counselors, to help you unearth previously unknown details about your ex or your child.
