Family Law Investigations

Family Law Investigations

Private investigators are often needed during divorce proceedings to check on whether or not the opposing party has been truthful in listing financial assets. Parrent Smith Investigations and Research has handled many asset investigations for parties in the process of divorce, in which we have located property or other assets that our client did not know about. Clearly, these kinds of investigations can have a significant impact on settlements, as well as any alimony payments.

We also routinely help with other areas of family law besides divorce proceedings. In custody cases, for example, we have been asked to do extensive background investigations on a parent to help our client and the court determine whether or not custody should be held jointly or by a single parent. Regarding child support, we have often located a parent who has moved and stopped paying child support, enabling our clients to collect back payments.

Another area of family law where investigators may be helpful is when there is harassment, stalking or potential violence in an intimate relationship. Although it is important to contact law enforcement in these cases, we can often assist the police by locating and monitoring the perpetrator, when law enforcement does not have the resources to do so. Please see our article on Stalkers and Harassers for more about this all too frequent problem.
