Domestic investigations run the gamut from spousal infidelity, spousal and child abuse to parental kidnapping and dead beat fathers. Suspect your spouse of infidelity? A private investigator can conduct static and rolling surveillance to track your spouse’s activities when you’re not present. This can be used as evidence in a divorce trial to achieve or retain assets resulting from a civil union. The private investigator knows how to balance the right to privacy with the need to know. Many couples drift apart and tend towards other companionship. In many situations there are considerable assets or debts to be considered as well as the welfare of any children. Private investigators can obtain sufficient evidence to tilt the courts towards the wronged party’s advantage.
Investigating Child & Elder Abuse
There may manifest indications of child abuse either by a spouse, other family member or a baby sitter. Mental, physical and sexual abuse is commonly perpetrated by a caregiver. Not only are the young vulnerable to abuse but the elderly as well. A private investigator can be retained to provide evidence for civil restraint or criminal prosecution. Latch-key children are especially vulnerable to sexual abuse by a family friend or neighbor.
Missing Person Investigations
Runaways, missing children, non-payment of child support and parental kidnappings are other areas of domestic investigation. Many investigation agencies can conduct missing person investigations. Dead-beat fathers, runaways and parental kidnappings bear many similar characteristics. Primarily someone is missing and must be found to determine their condition and location. Unless circumstances indicate foul play, a twenty-four hour waiting period is required, as most adults return home or make contact in this time span. Over 90% of the runaways are located within 72 hours. Given budget restraints and hiring freezes many law enforcement agencies don’t have the resources to devote too many of these situations. Hence a private investigator can be retained to conduct an investigation. Failure to pay child support in many jurisdictions results in issuance of an arrest warrant. But these persons need to be located.
Theft Investigations
Things going missing like cash or jewelry? Does anyone in the home suffer from chemical dependencies or do you have a housekeeper or both? You don’t want to be accusatory without some evidence. Maybe a nosy neighbor is entering your domicile when you’re out or at work. This falls under domestic investigations. The sad thing is that someone who is drug dependent will commit theft to support their habit. Family members are not immune to these depredations. Some have not only stolen money and jewelry, but firearms and electronics as well. They have a King-Kong sized monkey on their back and will exploit every opportunity to fund their dependency. Domestic investigation may provide the needed information to get help through counseling or rehab. Surveillance and security systems can monitor activity occurring around the house. Video and human surveillance can capture or identify persons for future prosecution. Background checks of landscape, garden and home cleaning personnel are unfortunately becoming common.
