Child Custody & Family investigations

Among the most sensitive matters faced in a marriage dissolution are issues of child custody and visitation. For many parents, there is nothing more heartbreaking than losing in a custody battle with a former spouse. If you’re facing a court battle over child custody or visitation, you should consider hiring a private investigator. Pro Elite Group network of investigators can conduct child custody investigations which involve a comprehensive dive into the character, behavior, and parenting practices of your ex-spouse to collect the evidence needed to protect the best interests of your child.

The purpose of a child custody or child visitation investigation is to collect evidence regarding a spouse’s behavior and activities (particularly in regard to parenting) to be used against them as part of a divorce, separation, custody, or visitation legal proceeding. This can mean that one party is seeking evidence of bad conduct on the part of the other, or a party may be seeking evidence to prove the falseness of allegations of bad conduct made by the other party.

The primary interest of a court in overseeing any child-related case is to ensure the safety and well-being of the child or children involved. Factors considered under the standard child custody law commonly include :

• The child’s age
• Capacity of the parent to provide the child with a stable, safe, and secure home environment (including necessities such as food, clothing, medical care, etc.)
• Love, affection and other emotional ties between parent and child
• Moral fitness of the parent (including any criminal history, evidence of drug or alcohol abuse, etc.)
• Physical and emotional stability of the parent
• Evidence of abuse (physical, mental, emotional, verbal) or neglect, particularly in regard to the child or other parent
• Preference in keeping siblings together
• Willingness of one parent to uphold the parental rights of, and to cooperate with, the other parent
• The child’s preferences
