Child Custody Investigation
If you have children, a child custody investigation can protect them from danger and abuse.
In case of a divorce or separation, our private detectives can make sure that the children involved in child custody litigation stay safe. A parent or court may order a child custody investigator to determine what the child’s experience is like with a custody or non-custody parent. Investigations of parents most of the times reveal suitability for child custody;however, there are times when unfavorable findings such as chronic neglect, child abuse, or parental alcoholism or drug abuse is detected and brought to the attention of the client and the court to assist the family with the appropriate action. If you need to know, a private investigator or qualified child custody investigator can tell you the truth and could save your child’s life.
How does a child custody investigation work?
Our San Diego investigators may use surveillance in child custody cases to determine what happens when a parent is with the child. Investigators can document or video tape any abuse or neglect that they see and they can gather other evidence that suggests whether the child is being treated well or not. Investigators also question the parents and ask parents to fill out a detailed questionnaire about their parenting and the child. Additionally, investigators may speak to witnesses or may solicit witnesses for the court on behalf of the parents.
Investigators at ACIS San Diego can find out whether a parent indulges in reckless driving, criminal activity, alcoholism, neglect, or other activities that may affect a child's welfare. Based on the information and evidence gathered, parents and courts can determine what to do to ensure the child safety. A private investigator’s findings always have more credence in court than a parent’s accusations, so if you have any suspicions, a qualified professional investigator is essential.
