Child neglect investigations:
Many child custody cases are heated and involve allegations from both sides lodged
against each other. Having a private investigator can help tilt the evidence in one
direction. A private investigator can perform a number of investigative functions to
gather the information necessary to prove the client’s claims.
A child custody investigation examines the child’s well-being and treatment in an
objective manner. A private investigator may assess the treatment of a child by the
parents in question and present this information to the court with a report.
During a child custody investigation, the investigator at Pri Eyes may
conduct surveillance to get a better idea of how the parent treats his or her child
when he or she does not know about any monitoring going on. Specialists will
document any instances of abuse or neglect by taking pictures or making audio or
visual recordings of the parent interacting with the child. Some of the elements that
we may try to include in his or her surveillance include reckless driving, criminal
activity, gambling, drug abuse or other activities that may have a negative impact on
the children. Additionally, we will look for any signs that the parent is not providing a
safe and hygienic living space, food or necessities.
Understanding Child Custody
During a child custody investigation, it is important for the parent hiring the private
investigator to understand the different types of child custody. Legal custody refers to

3. the right to make legal decisions on behalf of the child. Physical custody refers to the
parent with whom the child will live. Either type of custody may be sole or joint
custody. Sole custody means that one parent has the primary role in the child’s life.
Joint means that the parents share the responsibility of the type of custody that is at
stake.

Different Roles
A private investigator often plays many different roles in a child custody investigation,
including the following:
Interview Witnesses
A Child Custody private investigator of Pri Eyes may interview witnesses who may
be involved in the child’s life, including neighbors, teachers, counselors, parents of
friends and other individuals.
Asset Search
Another important role that a private investigator has is to find
assets https://prieyes.com/service/due-diligence-investigations that may be hidden. If
the private investigator can find evidence of this nature, the client can argue that the
other parent is attempting to shirk his or her financial obligations to the child.
Gathering Evidence
Before a specialist at Pri Eyes begins work on the project, he or she generally meets
with the client to determine what type of information may be relevant to the case. For
example, a parent may know that the other parent hires a babysitter during his or her
scheduled time with the child. The person may want evidence that the other party
has a romantic partner living with him or her and present during times with the
children. Additionally, a private investigator may gather evidence of the parent’s drug
or alcohol use when he or she is responsible for the children. In some situations, a
private investigator may be able to show that the parent is neglecting or abusing the
children.
In other situations, the parent may be concerned about what the other parent is
doing during scheduled visits. He or she may be allowing the children to be up late at
night and the child’s grades may suffer as a consequence. A Child Custody private
investigator at Pri Eyes may take high quality pictures or video of the other parent.
These pictures and videos are often taken in public places to avoid any privacy
violation claims. Such locations may be in the front yard, park, grocery store or other
locations where there is no expectation of privacy.

Reasons to Hire a Private Investigator
There are several considerations to factor in when thinking about hiring a private
investigator. A primary reason why people hire a private investigator is because they
are concerned about the child’s safety. If a parent is concerned that the other parent
is unfit but may have difficulty showing this to the court, a private investigator can
help. He or she knows the legal requirements regarding evidence and can provide
testimony and other objective evidence in court. In other instances, it is revealed that
the other parent is not unfit and the hiring parent can get peace of mind.
In other situations, a parent may be falsely accused of abuse or neglect and a
private investigator will be able to show the falsity of such allegations.

of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico,
and the U.S. Virgin Islands have laws and policies that specify procedures for

report when they suspect or know of abusive or neglectful situations. (For more
information about the requirements for these individuals to report, see Child Welfare
