We work closely with parents and legal teams to help protect what matters most—your child’s well-being and future.

GPS Tracking & Custody Evidence Collection

Whether you’re in North York, Etobicoke, or elsewhere, our licensed investigators understand the legal and emotional challenges involved. If you believe your ex-spouse is engaging in behavior that could endanger your child—such as excessive partying or drug use—a private investigator can help gather the proof you need. Using GPS tracking and discreet surveillance, we monitor patterns, locations, and activities that may support your child custody case.

Witness Location & Testimony Support

In child custody cases, credible witness testimony can make a significant difference. Our private investigators can locate, interview, and gather statements from individuals who may have firsthand knowledge of your ex-spouse’s behavior or parenting practices. We work discreetly to ensure all testimony is relevant, reliable, and supportive of your legal case. Witness accounts can provide powerful context that surveillance alone may not capture, helping to paint a clearer picture for the court.

Visual Evidence for Child Custody Cases

Photo and video surveillance can play a key role in custody investigations. Our private investigators discreetly document behavior that may reveal drug use, excessive drinking, gambling, or other actions that could endanger your child’s well-being. This court-admissible evidence can support your case—or provide peace of mind if your suspicions are unfounded. If you’re concerned about what happens at home, we can recommend legal tools like nanny cams to monitor in-home behavior and uncover any signs of neglect or abuse.

Document Retrieval & Financial Investigations

Private investigators can uncover critical documents—like financial records, hidden assets, or employment details—that may impact custody decisions. We help reveal signs of financial irresponsibility, hidden income, or neglect that could affect a child’s stability. Our team has access to databases and sources that go beyond what’s publicly available, saving you time and ensuring no important information is overlooked.

FAQ about Child Custody and Domestic Violence

Q1. How can a Private Investigator support my custody case?

The more solid evidence you present in court, the stronger your case for child custody. If you’re concerned about your children’s safety while in your ex-spouse’s care, a licensed private investigator can help gather the proof you need. We work closely with your divorce attorney to build a compelling case and uncover key facts that may otherwise go unnoticed.

Hiring a private investigator not only strengthens your legal position—it also brings clarity, peace of mind, and the support you need during a difficult time.

Q2. Is the evidence collected by a private investigator admissible in court?

Yes. All evidence we collect is gathered legally and discreetly, following Ontario’s laws and family court guidelines. Our investigators ensure that the information can be used effectively in court to support your custody claim.

Q3. Will my ex-spouse know they're being investigated?

No. Our investigations are completely confidential. Your ex will not know they are being monitored, and your identity as the client remains protected throughout the process.

Q4. What types of behavior can be documented in a custody investigation?

We can document a wide range of behaviors, including drug or alcohol abuse, neglect, unsafe living conditions, frequent absences, or inappropriate relationships. This evidence helps demonstrate whether your child’s welfare is at risk.

Q5. When should I hire a private investigator during a custody dispute?

The earlier, the better. Hiring a private investigator at the start of a custody dispute allows more time to gather credible, court-admissible evidence. Whether you’re preparing for court or responding to a sudden concern, early investigation can give you a stronger legal position and peace of mind.
