Child Custody Investigations

When a child’s safety, living environment or daily routine is in question, a licensed child custody private investigator can provide objective, court ready evidence that goes beyond what friends, family or social media can show. PI Specialists, LLC conducts child custody investigations that are designed from the start to be legal, ethical and admissible in court, working closely with parents and family law attorneys in Arizona and Oregon. Each investigation is tailored to your specific concerns, existing court orders and family dynamics so the evidence supports your goals in custody, parenting time or modification proceedings.

What A Child Custody Private Investigator Does

A child custody private investigator documents what is really happening during parenting time, exchanges and daily care, not just what is claimed in pleadings or messages. PI Specialists, LLC focuses on gathering independent facts the court can rely on: where the child is, who is present, what conditions exist and whether orders are being followed. Our investigators understand how judges and guardians ad litem view evidence and structure reports accordingly.

Child Custody Investigation Services

Services may include, as appropriate to your case:

• Covert surveillance documenting parenting behaviors, order violations, risky associates and unsafe conditions around the child.
• Background investigations on caregivers, new partners, and household members to uncover criminal history, substance abuse or violence concerns.
• Trash inspections (where legally permitted) to identify evidence of drug use, alcohol abuse or hazardous items in the home.
• OSINT and social media investigations revealing unsafe behavior, substance use, neglect or contradictions to statements made in court.
• Verification of custody order, parenting time, and relocation violations, including late exchanges, missed visits and prohibited overnights.
• Home environment documentation through photos, video and observations of cleanliness, supervision, hazards, and who actually resides in the home.

These services can be combined or phased, depending on your budget, timeline and court deadlines.
