Signs You Need to Hire 
a Private Investigator

♦  Child Custody Concerns
During or after a divorce, ensuring your child's best interest can sometimes mean investigating the other parent's living conditions or behavior. Here's when you might need a private investigator:

• Inconsistent Parenting: If your ex-partner shows signs of neglecting responsibilities or if there are concerns about the environment your child is exposed to during visits.
• Relocation Issues: If there's a potential move that might affect custody arrangements, a PI can verify the new living situation or gather information about the new neighborhood or school district.
• New Relationships: Concerns about new partners in your ex's life, particularly if there are safety or stability issues.

A private investigator can conduct background checks, monitor interactions, and report back on any findings that could influence custody decisions or help in court.

♦  Business or Employment Disputes
For business owners or employees, there might be times when you suspect internal theft, corporate espionage, or employee misconduct:

• Missing Inventory or Funds
  If you notice discrepancies in your inventory or financial records that don't match up with your sales or expenditures.
• Unusual Employee Behavior
  Employees who work late often, avoid taking vacations, or show signs of living beyond their means might be involved in fraudulent activities.
• Intellectual Property Theft
  Concerns about leaks or theft of proprietary information can necessitate an investigation to protect your business.

A experienced private investigator can perform covert surveillance, digital forensics, and background checks to uncover the truth, helping to safeguard your business interests.

♦  Locating Missing Persons or Assets
Whether it's a long-lost relative, an ex-partner owing child support, or finding hidden assets during a divorce, here are instances where you might need help:

• Lost Contact
  If you've lost touch with someone important and need to reconnect for personal or legal reasons.
• Asset Discovery
  In cases of divorce or inheritance, ensuring all assets are accounted for might require investigative work.
• Debt Collection
  Locating someone who owes money can be a challenge, especially if they've moved or changed identities.

Private investigators have access to databases, networks, and methods not available to the public, making them invaluable in these situations.

♦  Legal Support for Litigation
When you're involved in legal proceedings, whether civil or criminal, a private investigator can be an extension of your legal team:

• Evidence Gathering
  Collecting evidence that can be presented in court, like witness statements, surveillance footage, or digital data.
• Witness Location
  Finding and interviewing witnesses who might be crucial to a case but have moved or are hard to locate.
• Background Checks
  Delving into the history of parties involved to uncover any past behaviors or incidents relevant to your case.

While private investigators work closely with attorney's, to strengthen your case, providing detailed, factual groundwork necessary for a successful legal outcome, a private investigator should "always be retained independently" by a client.
