Who Should Hire an Infidelity Investigator to Catch a Cheating Spouse?

Concerned about your spouse's late night activities? A Private Investigator is trained in surveillance techniques and can provide you an accurate account of the evening's activity. Photographs, audio and video recordings can also be provided in some instances, depending on the client's request. The last thing you want to do is falsely accuse an innocent husband or wife of having an extramarital affair. That could be just as damaging to your relationship as infidelity itself. So before you start searching for signs of infidelity, or slinging accusations around, you should make sure you're on solid ground. Your suspicions may turn out to be groundless if:

• You are suspicious by nature
• You have a natural distrust of the opposite sex
• You have issues with jealousy
• You are emotionally insecure
• You suffer from low-self esteem
• You are paranoid
• You have an overly active imagination

If any of the seven statements above apply to you, then you should probably hire a private investigator to check out if your spouse is cheating, instead of trying to do it yourself. It will be impossible for you to remain objective enough to fairly evaluate the clues you find. You should also hire a licensed private investigator if you require court admissible proof. A private investigator can conduct a fair and impartial investigation, and provide you with the documented proof you need. 

Child Custody

When parents separate and cannot agree on a custody and/or visitation arrangement, it is usually necessary for the matter to be decided in Family Court. . If you have already obtained a divorce or were never married, you must file a petition for child custody or visitation in Family Court.

Child custody and support are often the most disputed areas as they affect both emotions and money. Unfortunately, children are often used as bargaining chips. Parents' responsibility to manage their children's growth and development continues even though the marriage ends.

The court will make child custody decisions base on what is in the “Best Interest” of the child if the parents can’t come to an agreement. This aspect can be the most complicated and controversial part of the case. There are many factors the court will consider when making a decision.

Missing Persons/Locate Investigations are conducted to find the current whereabouts and uncover the contact information of a subject.

1. Missing Persons – Investigations cases can be have suspicious and non-suspicious circumstances relating to the case. Examples of such cases are kidnappings, runaways and fugitives.

Beware of the “Instant” Background Check

Most of the “Background Check” web sites that you will find on the internet are nothing more than sites that automatically search through FREE public record sources or buy old outdated information and resell it to you at 20 times the cost.

What they do NOT do is to provide you with an actual back ground check. This is particularly true for the “Instant background check” companies.

The results they give you: 
Fast but meaningless data or data that is comprised of information you likely already knew. Ironically, they forget to tell you that there is little or no chance that their background check will find anything meaningful.

The companies that sell this type of information are not licensed private investigators and cannot give you the accuracy you want.

THERE IS NO NATIONAL CRIMINAL RECORD DATABASE AVAILABLE TO ANYONE!

If a company is offering this type of background check to you, they have created their own “national” criminal database which is not reliable, accurate or complete and is ridiculous at best.

Each court, at the city or county level, also has its own unique way of recording criminal records and allowing the public access to them. At Accolade, we know exactly where and how to look for them in the fastest and most intelligent way to give you quick results without compromising completeness or accuracy.
