Child Custody

Child Custody Investigations

Divorce can be a painful process, especially if children are involved. The thought of losing custody of a son or daughter can be a harrowing experience, especially if the parent has spent significant time and resources in upbringing their child. 

Some parents may have discussions and settle on an ideal option for child custody that can work for both of them. However, there are certain cases whereby the two are unable to come to an agreement on who should be given custody of the child.

In such circumstances, for divorcing couples with the children under the age of 21, the courts will decide on the care and control of the children, and access to the children.

The court examines many factors before deciding which parent gains custody of the child.

According to the Ministry of Social and Family Development, the custodial parent has the right to make major decisions for the children such as education, religion, and healthcare, among others.

If you think your ex-husband or ex-wife should not gain custody, you would need to provide the court with evidence that the other parent is not fit to provide care.  Our experienced private investigators conduct discreet child custody surveillance to uncover chronic neglect, physical or emotional abuse, alcoholism, drug abuse, etc.

DP Quest is able to assist you with evidence gathering that increases the chances of winning the custody of your child.  If necessary, we can also serve as expert witnesses for court proceedings.

How We Conduct Child Custody Investigations

Before beginning our investigations, our private investigators will first ensure the safety or security of the child. Afterwards, we will start to collect evidence to show how both parents have treated the child over the years. 

In order to prove that you are the more responsible parent to take care of your child, our investigators will use different methods and techniques of investigations to acquire substantial evidence that rules in your favor. Some of these methods include doing background checks, surveillance investigation and collecting eye witness accounts among others.

Due to the sensitivity of child custody investigations, we prioritize confidentiality and make sure that the identities of children and other subjects of the investigation remain well-protected throughout the investigation. To protect you and your child’s interest, our private investigators will only share information with you and the court.

We understand that child custody is a serious issue for any parent, hence we always apply the most effective measures to gather evidence and produce results without inconvenience on your part.

Once the investigation is complete, our investigators will closely analyze the evidence. A credible report will be written to highlight key information proving your case. Based on the outcomes of the investigation, the court may choose to issue sole or split custody in accordance with family law.
