What Kind of Surveillance do Private Investigators do?

When we think of surveillance, we often imagine government agencies and law enforcement offices. However, private investigators also utilize surveillance on a regular basis to solve cases for their clients. The type of surveillance they conduct is dependent upon the case and its needs. On this quick article, we’re going to cover some of the different types of surveillance services we offer; and when to use it.

Surveillance for family law matters:

When it comes to family law matters, a private investigator is invaluable. They can provide video evidence and observations to assist an attorney’s case buildout.

Surveillance is often used in divorces to show that an individual has been following the terms of their settlement agreement. It can also be helpful when determining if children are safe while being cared for by another person; such as during visitation, or with new significant others who may be guarding over them.

Additionally, a licensed private investigator can gather video footage to help determine if children are being abused, mistreated, taken to classes on time, or left at a baby sitter that is not approved by both parties. Our job is to gather video and photographic evidence in order to avoid “He Said; She Said” accusations and disputes.

Surveillance to Terminate Alimony

Alimony can be a tough decision for both parties fighting over who should get paid and how much. However, there may come the time when you feel like alimony payments are no longer necessary, and want them ended, because your ex-partner is now in a new relationship. If that’s the case, our investigators can work to help determine whether or not your partner is now involved with a new partner.

Surveillance to Assist in Alimony Payments

An ex-spouse can refuse to pay alimony if they say they are unemployed, when this happens, a private investigator may help get evidence and testimony that will prove employment. As private investigators, we could go a step further and conduct specialized background checks called “Asset Checks” in which we can help track down hidden assets.

Surveillance for Employment Verification

In any type of law cases, it can be important to prove an individual is employed if they are saying that they aren’t. Testimony and surveillance can show whether or not a subject is working for a company, how long they have been working for the company, as well as possible job duties and responsibilities. With this information, an attorney may be able to subpoena records from employers.

Surveillance for Infidelity

The decision to prove infidelity in a divorce or relationship can be difficult. If you are not sure if your partner is being faithful, it may help to use surveillance to discreetly monitor your partner.

If your spouse is spending marital assets on someone else this could be important in some states for a divorce case. Or if your family is accusing you of being the one that is breaking up the marriage without a good reason, then a surveillance can justify your actions and vindicate your decision.

Surveillance to prove a specific set of circumstances are taking place

Sometimes you just need to prove someone is doing what you know they are doing. Whether it be in a matter of a law case, personal matter, peace of mind, or something else, a private investigator can get you video evidence to help you make educated life changing decisions.
