When Doubt Threatens Your Family: The Power of a Professional

Family Investigator

Behind closed doors, 67% of family legal disputes collapse due to insufficient evidence.*

In the emotionally charged world of divorce, custody battles, and hidden assets, truth becomes your greatest asset.

That’s where a Family Investigator steps in — bridging the gap between suspicion and justice.

As a certified private detective at My Own Detective, I’ve seen firsthand how families regain clarity and legal standing through professional investigations. Whether it’s revealing secret bank accounts, documenting parental neglect, or confirming infidelity, a Family Investigator can make or break a legal case.

Why Families Turn to a

Family Investigator

According to the National Center for State Courts, 45% of divorce proceedings in the U.S. require third-party evidence to substantiate claims. In France and Europe, the trend is similar, with judges increasingly relying on documented and legally admissible proof.

Hiring a Family Investigator offers distinct legal and emotional advantages:

Three Critical Advantages:

• ✅ Court-ready documentation compliant with FRCP Rule 26 or European civil code

• ✅ Digital forensics that respect GDPR (EU) and CCPA (California) standards

• ✅ Behavioral pattern analysis backed by trained surveillance experts

The Toolkit of a Modern

Family Investigator

Today’s family issues are more complex than ever, requiring cutting-edge investigative tools that go far beyond simple observation.

🔍 Covert Surveillance Techniques

Our investigators are trained in advanced surveillance operations, including:

• Vehicle-mounted ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition)

• Drone footage with real-time video streaming (where legally allowed)

• Behavioral analysis software approved by the U.S. Office of Justice Programs

These tools allow a Family Investigator to gather evidence discreetly, ethically, and efficiently.

💾 Digital Evidence Recovery

Digital footprints tell stories — sometimes damning ones. Our team uses:

• Cellebrite UFED technology to extract smartphone data (texts, calls, location history)

• Email metadata analysis

• Cloud storage tracking across services like Google Drive or Dropbox

All methods maintain the chain-of-custody essential for admissibility in both criminal and civil court.

Choosing the Right

Family Investigator

Not all investigators are created equal. The Association of Law Enforcement Agencies recommends you verify:

• ✅ Licensing — In France, this means CNAPS certification; in the U.S., check your state’s private investigator board

• ✅ Cyber insurance — Essential in digital investigations

• ✅ Client confidentiality policies — A true Family Investigator will provide NDA-backed contracts

Ask for references and sample reports. A professional should be transparent about fees, timelines, and legal limitations.

From Suspicion to Resolution: Your Next Steps

The truth may be closer than you think — and often, a consultation is all it takes to begin reclaiming control.

Did you know?

83% of our initial consultations do not lead to immediate field operations. Yet the peace of mind offered through early documentation (photos, text messages, journals) often shapes future outcomes.

✍️ Tip from a Family Investigator:

Keep a timestamped diary of troubling behavior. Courts often accept these records when corroborated by professional reports.
