Investigative tools are applied to case goals. These are the investigation types that most often use surveillance.
Affair Investigations
The suspicion alone is exhausting. You notice the schedule changes, the guarded phone, the stories that don't add up - and you start second-guessing everything. Whether you need to confirm what's happening or clear the air once and for all, we give you documented facts so you can stop wondering and start making decisions.
- What we look into: relationship patterns, affair and cheating indicators, routine and location checks, and activity on social media platforms including dating apps.
- Also useful for: overnight-stay verification, shared-residence patterns, and confirming timeline claims through lawful public sources.
- Evidence focus: we determine whether cohabitation is continuous and financially relevant - not just casual or isolated - because that distinction matters for support and settlement.
- Goal: replace assumptions about a relationship with documented evidence, so you and your attorney can act on facts.
- What you get: verified chronology, surveillance documentation, and reports with sourced references.
- What we won't do: hack accounts, impersonate anyone, or violate privacy laws.

High Net Worth Divorce Investigations
High net worth divorce investigations focus on financially complex family-law cases where business ties, property use, lifestyle patterns, and ownership leads need to be documented clearly and carefully.
- What we look into: business interests, shell entities, LLC and property ties, undeclared vehicles or boats, residence-use patterns, and lifestyle-to-income inconsistencies.
- Use cases: disputed disclosures, business-owner divorce, asset-control conflicts, and financially complex settlement or trial preparation.
- Output: source-based timelines, ownership-lead packages, property-use documentation, and organized reporting for attorney review.

Child Custody Investigations
When your child's safety is on the line, you need more than worry - you need proof. Family courts in Washington decide custody based on the "best interest of the child" standard, which means judges look at parental fitness, the home environment, each parent's history, and the child's physical and emotional well-being. But courts can only weigh what's in front of them. If you suspect neglect, substance abuse, unsafe supervision, or worse - we help you document it so the facts speak for themselves.
- What we look into: custody exchanges, supervision concerns, unsupervised visitation, unsafe living conditions, and whether children are being exposed to dangerous people or situations - including partners with criminal histories, substance use around kids, signs of physical harm, or reckless behavior like impaired driving with children in the car.
- Visitation monitoring: we observe and document visitation exchanges and overnight stays to verify whether court-ordered arrangements are being followed and whether the child appears safe.
- Also useful for: unauthorized caregivers, concerning pickup/dropoff behavior, grandparents or extended family members seeking custody or visitation rights, and building facts for emergency custody motions.
- False accusations: if you've been falsely accused of neglect, abuse, or unfit parenting, we gather independent evidence that tells your side of the story with dates, witnesses, and context - so you're not stuck just defending yourself with words.
- Court factors we help document: parental fitness, stability of each home, each parent's willingness to support the child's relationship with the other parent, criminal or substance history, and the child's established routine - all factors Washington courts consider when deciding legal custody (who makes decisions) and physical custody (where the child lives), whether sole or joint.
- Evidence focus: we separate one-time incidents from repeat patterns by documenting each observation with dates, times, and context.
- Report standard: we use neutral, observable language with context and no legal conclusions.
- Corroboration: field observations are cross-checked against lawful records, witness statements, and timeline references when available.
- Goal: document the patterns that matter to your child's safety and well-being - tied to the facts a judge can actually use.
- What you get: timestamped logs, photos/video, and incident timelines ready for legal review.
- What we won't do: access school records illegally, break into devices, or record without authorization.

Parental Kidnapping and Unauthorized Removal Investigations
Parental kidnapping and unauthorized removal investigations focus on urgent child-locate and movement-timeline work when a parent takes or keeps a child outside the expected legal or parenting-plan framework.
- What we look into: parent and child locate leads, recent movement patterns, residence-use verification, public-facing digital traces, and timeline reconstruction tied to court orders or expected exchanges.
- Use cases: missed returns, concealment concerns, emergency custody strategy support, and attorney-directed fact development in urgent child-custody disputes.
- Output: source-based locate notes, timeline-based reporting, and organized evidence for attorney and law-enforcement coordination.

Parenting Plan Investigations
A parenting plan is supposed to protect your child's routine and your time together. But when the other parent keeps showing up late, skipping exchanges, or ignoring the schedule entirely, telling the court "it keeps happening" isn't enough. You need documented proof that shows a pattern - not just a single frustrating weekend.
- What we look into: parenting-plan compliance, schedule deviations, late exchanges, no-shows, and whether the other parent is consistently following the court order.
- Also useful for: relocation or move-away disputes, denied parenting time, repeated holiday schedule violations, and situations where a deceptive opposing party is twisting the facts to make you look like the problem.
- Evidence focus: we track exchanges and timing across multiple dates to show whether the order is being followed - or whether the violations form a pattern the court needs to see.
- Goal: build a factual violation timeline that supports enforcement, contempt motions, or plan modification.
- What you get: exchange logs, chronology reports, and evidence summaries ready for hearings.
- What we won't do: harassing contact or anything that conflicts with active court orders.

Alimony and Spousal Support Investigations
This investigation type focuses on support-related facts such as cohabitation indicators, lifestyle patterns, and undisclosed income behavior that may affect support strategy.
- Common examples: cohabitation timeline development, routine pattern verification, and source-based observations.
- Use cases: support establishment, contested support obligations, and modification petitions.
- Output: timeline-based evidence summaries prepared for attorney and court process.

- Use cases: custody disputes, parenting plan modifications, and child-safety concerns.
- Output: organized evidence packages for attorney review and custody-related filings.

Financial Support Investigations
Support orders don't update themselves. When someone starts a new job, picks up cash work, or moves in with a partner, the numbers change - but the court order stays the same until someone proves it. If you know the other side is hiding income or living a lifestyle that doesn't match what they claim, we help you put that on paper.
- What we look into: income and employment verification, undisclosed side work or business activity, and asset or property leads.
- Also useful for: cohabitation evidence in support cases, cash-income vs. lifestyle mismatches, and tracing business interests - including shell companies, undisclosed partnerships, and property held through LLCs or trusts.
- Evidence focus: we tie support arguments to verifiable income, residence, and spending patterns - not estimates or hearsay.
- Goal: produce organized documentation that supports establishing or modifying a support order.
- What you get: structured records research with sources indexed for legal use.
- What we won't do: access financial data illegally or impersonate anyone to obtain tax records.

Court Order Investigations
Court order investigations focus on documenting violations of restraining orders, protection orders, and no-contact orders, as well as building the factual record needed to petition for or defend against these orders in family-law and criminal proceedings.
- What we look into: prohibited contact patterns, proximity violations, third-party relay chains, digital harassment, stalking behavior, and order-compliance timelines.
- Use cases: protection order petitions, restraining order enforcement, no-contact order violation evidence, and defense against retaliatory filings.
- Output: chronological violation logs, source-based contact documentation, and organized evidence packages for attorney and court review.

Protection Order Investigations
Protection order investigations support both petitioners building the factual record for a new filing and respondents who need to document the actual conduct history when an order has been filed against them.
- Common examples: conduct-pattern documentation, stalking and harassment timelines, digital evidence preservation, and witness development for hearing preparation.
- Use cases: DVPO petitions, anti-harassment orders, stalking protection orders, temporary-to-permanent order hearings, and contested protection order proceedings.
- Output: organized evidence packages with chronology, corroboration, and source attribution ready for court filing.

Domestic Violence Investigations
Domestic violence investigations focus on documenting the pattern of abuse, threats, intimidation, coercive control, or physical harm that drives protection order petitions, custody safety arguments, and the factual record courts need to evaluate the danger.
- What we look into: incident chronology, threat and intimidation patterns, coercive control indicators, physical evidence context, witness identification, and digital harassment preservation.
- Use cases: DVPO petitions, custody safety arguments, DV-related parenting plan restrictions, and defense against false or retaliatory DV allegations.
- Output: timeline-based conduct documentation with corroboration, organized for attorney review, court filing, and hearing preparation.
