Common Investigation Types for This Audience

These investigation pages are most frequently used for this audience's family-law objectives.

Divorce

Washington is a no-fault state, but that doesn't mean your divorce will be simple. Cases get stuck all the time when one side claims cohabitation, hidden spending, or bad parenting - and the other side just says "prove it." What's usually missing is an honest, fact-based timeline that isn't just one person's word against the other.

  • What we look into: cohabitation verification, residence-use timelines, lifestyle and spending inconsistencies, and whether the other party is being truthful about their living situation.
  • Also useful for: concerns about wasted marital assets, undisclosed overnight guests, and conflicting stories about household arrangements.
  • High net worth situations: if you suspect hidden business interests, shell companies, offshore accounts, or undisclosed assets like vehicles, boats, or property - we develop leads and document what can be verified through lawful sources.
  • Evidence focus: we compare what each side claims against what we independently observe, so the dispute gets tested with facts instead of feelings.
  • Goal: build a factual timeline that puts you in a stronger position for settlement or trial.
  • What you get: surveillance observations, chronology logs, and supporting photos or video.
  • What we won't do: hack accounts, impersonate anyone, trespass, or make unlawful recordings.

Child Custody

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.

Parenting Plans

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.

Financial Support

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 disputes, 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.

Child Support Modification

Child support modification investigations focus on evidence tied to changed circumstances, income disputes, and employment or residency facts relevant to support recalculation.

  • Scope examples: employment and activity pattern verification, residence-use observations, and source-linked documentation.
  • Use cases: proving income change claims, disputed underemployment assertions, and undisclosed-work indicators.
  • Output: time-stamped findings aligned to support-hearing preparation.

Common Service Types for This Audience

Service methods are selected based on legal goals, timeline, and evidentiary needs.

Surveillance Investigations

You know something isn't right - but knowing it and proving it are two different things. Without documented observations with dates, times, and context, the court is stuck listening to two different stories with no way to tell which one is true.

  • Undercover surveillance operations
  • Spot-check verification assignments
  • Pattern/routine surveillance planning
  • Custody-exchange compliance observations
  • Overnight residency and shared-household pattern documentation
  • Behavior pattern documentation
  • Cohabitation and routine verification
  • Date-stamped observation records

  • Current address verification
  • Skip-trace support for evasive respondents
  • Vehicle and movement lead development
  • Employer/business location confirmation from lawful sources
  • Digital and public-record location intelligence
  • Locate investigations and service preparation
