Child Custody Cases Divorce can often be an ugly matter that stirs hatred and animosity between former couples. Unfortunately some ex-spouses are so focused on “getting even” that they neglect what is most important in the aftermath of their breakup: the welfare of their children. Because both emotions and money play heavily into child custody cases, it is not surprising to see a parent leveraging their children against their former spouse. Although the court will appoint custody based on what they feel is in the best interest of the child, deception and lies can convolute the truth. Judges, like anyone else, make mistakes, and a child can be placed in the care of an abusive or negligent parent. If you believe that your child is being abused or neglected and that you can provide a better life for them, then it is your duty as a parent to prove it in court. Do I Need to Hire a Private Investigator? There are various reasons why someone would, and should conduct an investigation for child custody cases. Most often it is because they are concerned about their child’s safety when in the care of their ex-spouse, and have come to suspect that their child is the victim of physical abuse, emotional abuse, or neglect. On the other hand, someone might hire an investigator if they are being falsely accused of abuse or neglect, and want to provide evidence that they are a good parent. Documenting the interaction between the parent and the child is the key to this type of investigation. The evidence provided by a private investigator is the key to convincing a judge that you should be rewarded full or partial custody. Don’t gamble on the safety of your children by walking into the courtroom empty handed. Hire a private investigator today, and get the proof you need to win your custody battle.
