Domestic Investigation Services
Discreet Domestic Investigations in New York
When something feels wrong in a personal relationship, you deserve the truth — not suspicion. Our retired NYPD investigators handle the most sensitive domestic cases with complete discretion, professionalism, and compassion. Whatever the situation, we get you answers.
You Deserve Answers — Not Assumptions
Domestic investigations are among the most personal and emotionally charged cases we handle. Whether you suspect a partner of infidelity, need documentation for a custody dispute, or need to verify someone's living situation for legal purposes — the decision to hire an investigator is never easy. We understand that. Our job is not to judge your situation. Our job is to get you documented, verified facts so you can make informed decisions about your life.
Every domestic investigation we conduct is completely confidential. We do not discuss your case with anyone outside our team. We do not share information. And we handle every assignment with the same professionalism we applied to law enforcement work for over two decades.
What We Handle
Domestic Investigation Services
Infidelity Investigations
If you suspect your spouse or partner of infidelity, professional surveillance provides documented evidence — not assumptions. We discreetly monitor and document activities, meetings, and locations, delivering video and photographic evidence with timestamps that can be used in divorce or legal proceedings. We handle these cases with sensitivity, because we understand what is at stake personally and legally.
Child Custody Support Investigations
In custody disputes, the documented behavior of a parent can be the most important evidence in the case. We document parenting behavior, living conditions, associations, and activities that may be relevant to a custody determination. Our reports are formatted for legal use and can support or strengthen your attorney's case in family court.
Cohabitation Investigations
If a former spouse or partner is collecting alimony or support payments while living with a new partner, that may affect their legal entitlement to those payments under New York law. We document cohabitation situations with video evidence, photographic documentation, and written reports prepared for court or attorney review.
Lifestyle Verification
When personal or legal decisions depend on knowing how someone actually lives — their associations, activities, financial behavior, and daily patterns — lifestyle verification provides documented answers. Common in divorce proceedings, prenuptial investigations, and personal due diligence.
Family Matter Investigations
Every family situation is different. If your concern doesn't fit neatly into a category — a family member's behavior, a relationship you're uncertain about, a situation that requires professional documentation — contact us and we'll tell you honestly whether and how we can help.
Why Professional Documentation Matters in Domestic Cases
In Divorce Proceedings
New York is a no-fault divorce state — meaning you do not need to prove infidelity to get a divorce. However, documented evidence of infidelity, financial misconduct, or other behavior can significantly affect asset division, spousal support determinations, and custody decisions. Courts respond to documented evidence, not allegations.
In Custody Cases
Family courts in New York make custody decisions based on the best interests of the child. Documented evidence of a parent's behavior — substance use, neglect, dangerous associations, or violation of court orders — can be decisive. Professional surveillance documentation is treated with significantly more weight than a parent's personal testimony.
In Support and Alimony Cases
Cohabitation can legally affect alimony obligations in New York. But proving cohabitation requires documentation — not suspicion. A professionally conducted cohabitation investigation produces the evidence needed to take legal action on support modifications.
