How to use an effective private investigator in child custody disputes

Our private investigators in Germany have an enviable reputation in the field of family law. They can usually assist in even the most complex cases. A custody battle after a separation or divorce is an arduous and lengthy process, and we understand that this type of litigation is arguably the most significant legal challenge you will ever face.

Child Custody Investigations

At the Condor Detective Agency in Germany we know that child custody disputes are one of the most difficult situations our clients face.

Our aim is to provide thorough, professional and discreet investigations to help the best interests of the child. Private investigations can be crucial in family court proceedings, providing crucial evidence for a fair and informed decision.

Understanding Child Custody Investigations

Our investigations involve gathering evidence to support or dispute claims made in custody disputes. These investigations can reveal various aspects of a child’s environment and the behaviour of the involved parties. The main focus is the child’s safety, well-being and overall best interest.

In addition, we take on investigations if there are problems with child support, for example because a party liable to pay makes false statements about the scope of work and income.

Objectives of Child Custody Investigations

The Condor Detective Agency conducts child custody investigations with the following objectives:

• Living Conditions: We will check the living conditions of the other parent to make sure that they are safe and nurturing.
• Parental Behaviour: We monitor the other parent’s behaviour looking for neglect, abuse or inappropriate behaviour.
• Child’s Well-being: We verify the child physical and emotional well-being in each environment.
• Court Orders: We verify that a parent is complying with court-ordered parental custody and visitation arrangements.
• New Partners: We check the behaviour and background of any new partners living with or around the child.

Ways We Investigate

At the Condor Detective Agency we use many ways to gather evidence quietly and professionally:

• Surveillance: Our detectives watch the child and each parent interact.
• Background Investigations: We do background checks on parents and anyone significant in the child’s life.
• Interviews: We interview neighbours, teachers and others who may have information about the child’s living situation and parental behaviour.
• Social Media Monitoring: We monitor social media to gather more evidence about the parents.

Private Investigator Services Must Be Performed Legally

In Germany investigations by private detectives have to be done according to strict legal rules. The Condor Detective Agency makes sure all investigations comply with German law and data protection. Our detectives are trained to do investigations without infringing on individual rights so all evidence gathered can be used in family court.

Reporting and Documentation

Upon completion of an investigation, Condor Detective Agency will provide a full report of our findings. This will include

• Surveillance Footage and Photos: Visual evidence of interactions and living conditions.
• Written Observations: Notes of behaviour and conditions.
• Background Check Results: Information gathered from background checks.
• Interview Summaries: Summaries of interviews with relevant people.

Why Professional Investigations Matter

Professional child custody investigations are crucial for getting unbiased, factual evidence in custody cases. The Condor Detective Agency’s expertise ensures the evidence we provide is thorough and reliable so the court can make informed decisions that put the child first.

Why Condor Detective Agency?

• We have years of experience in child custody investigations so our detectives know how to handle the toughest cases.
• We conduct all investigations privately so our actions don’t disrupt the child’s life or the parents’ privacy.
• We operate with the highest ethical standards so all investigations are legal and respectful.
• We provide full and detailed reports for court.

Our child custody dispute resolution service can assist you and your attorneys in obtaining evidence:

• Criminality
• Alcohol or substance abuse
• Inappropriate environments for the child
• Inappropriate adults in contact with the child

At all times, our investigators will work to avoid bringing your children into the dispute as evidence. Our goal is to provide compelling evidence that will allow your attorneys to settle out of court, or at least not require the children to testify.

Our private investigators will provide credible and respected expert witnesses who are willing to appear in court to corroborate the results of our investigation. If your challenger fails to provide evidence or facts to the German courts in a child custody case, it may mean that you need to hire a private investigation agency with expertise in this type of case.
