Divorce, Custody, and the Truth: Why You May Need a Private Investigator?

What Can a PI Do in a Divorce Case?

If you’re emotionally overwhelmed, financially vulnerable, or just trying to protect your child, a private investigator gives you the most valuable thing you can have: information you can trust.

Hidden Assets and Financial Secrets

Divorce in Florida follows equitable distribution — which means everything is supposed to be fairly divided. But what if your ex isn’t being honest about what they really own?
Investigators can uncover:

• Hidden bank accounts

• Businesses in other people’s names

• Undisclosed crypto wallets

• Real estate quietly transferred right before separation

Even if your ex is lying to your attorney or the court, we can uncover what’s missing and provide documentation that makes it admissible.

Child Custody and Safety

If you’re worried about your child’s wellbeing during the other parent’s time, you’re not alone.
Many clients come to us with gut instincts — something feels wrong. We look into:

• Who’s around your children

• What the environment is really like

• Whether there’s drug or alcohol use

• If the child is being left unattended

• If there are people with dangerous histories involved

We document patterns through surveillance, public records, and interviews — not assumptions, but proof. This helps your attorney present stronger, clearer arguments in custody hearings.

Alimony and Cohabitation

Florida courts may reduce or eliminate alimony if your ex is living in a supportive relationship (i.e., living with a new partner who contributes financially or otherwise).
It’s not enough to guess or complain. You have to prove it. That’s where we come in — we track:

• Shared expenses

• Overnight stays

• Social media activity

• Consistent patterns that show cohabitation

It’s all gathered within legal boundaries, with clear reports that help your legal team request a formal modification.

Digital Evidence That Tells the Truth

Phones and computers are often the key to the truth. Private investigators with forensic experience can extract and preserve data such as:

• Messages

• Financial apps

• GPS and location history

• Deleted photos or emails

This can uncover everything from hidden communications with a lover or business partner, to proof of threats, fraud, or patterns of abuse. It can also serve as a defense if someone is falsely accusing you.

What You Might Not Know About the Law

Some people think they can collect this kind of evidence on their own — by recording conversations or tracking someone’s phone. Be careful.
Florida is a two-party consent state, which means recording private conversations without permission is illegal. Placing a GPS tracker without legal authority? Also illegal.

We don’t cut corners. We follow the law so the evidence we collect actually helps — not hurts — your case.

A Note from the Field

We’ve worked with countless people across South Florida — from Coral Gables to Boca Raton — who never thought they’d end up in the middle of a custody battle or financial war.
Some cried during our first phone call. Others were numb from the stress. And many felt powerless until they saw what could actually be proven — with the right help.

One client discovered her ex had opened a business using his cousin’s name and was funneling income through it while claiming he was broke. Another caught her husband leaving a small child home alone for hours. Another proved her ex was living with a new girlfriend, despite collecting alimony.

These stories aren’t rare. And when you’re the one in the middle of it, they don’t feel like stories — they feel like your life falling apart.

We help you put the pieces back together with truth, clarity, and strategy.

Finally,

If you’re going through a divorce in Florida and something feels off — trust your instincts. But don’t stop there.

Get answers. Get evidence. Get support.

A private investigator can’t take away the pain, but they can give you the facts that help you protect your future.
