GPS Tracking & Custody Evidence Collection

Our expert investigators understand the legal and emotional challenges involved. If you believe your ex-spouse is engaging in behavior that could endanger your child, such as excessive partying or drug use, a private investigator can help gather the proof you need. Using GPS tracking and discreet surveillance, we monitor patterns, locations, and activities that may support your child custody case.

Evidence That Supports Child Custody Cases

Photo and video surveillance and witness testimony are often critical in custody investigations. Our licensed investigators document behavior that may reveal drug use, excessive drinking, gambling, neglect, or unsafe conditions. We also locate and interview witnesses who can provide reliable statements about parenting practices.

This combination of surveillance and testimony creates court-admissible evidence that strengthens your case and provides judges with a clear picture of the child’s environment. If needed, we can also recommend legal monitoring tools such as nanny cams to help identify risks or confirm that concerns are unfounded.

When to Consider a Child Custody Investigation

• Substance abuse – drug use or excessive drinking while caring for a child
• Unsafe home – neglect, lack of supervision, or dangerous living conditions
• Unfit parenting – gambling, parties, or exposing children to harmful influences
• New partners – relationships that may put the child at risk
• Custody order violations – missed visits or failure to follow court agreements
• Risk of relocation – fears of a parent moving the child without consent

Custody Cases Involving Domestic Violence or Infidelity

Custody disputes are often connected to domestic abuse or infidelity. Exposure to unsafe conditions can cause lasting harm to children, while unfaithful behavior may raise concerns about parenting priorities and the influence of new partners.

Our investigators document abuse and harmful relationships through surveillance, background checks, and witness interviews. This evidence gives courts the clarity they need to make custody decisions that protect the child’s safety and well-being.
