Child custody concerns call for careful, factual documentation. MSI Detective Services works with parents and their attorneys on investigations involving a child’s care, supervision and living circumstances in Chicago and the surrounding area.
Our role is to investigate specific concerns and document relevant facts. We discuss your questions, available information and the purpose of the assignment before recommending an approach.
Investigating Specific Custody Concerns
An assignment may focus on caregiving routines, supervision, activities during parenting time or other circumstances your attorney identifies as relevant. Clear dates, locations and a description of what you have observed help us plan the investigation.
We work from the facts of each situation rather than assuming wrongdoing. Findings may support a concern, provide a different explanation or show that more information is needed.
Services That May Support Your Matter
- Surveillance to document observable activities during an agreed assignment.
- Background investigations to examine relevant background information.
- Locate investigations when locating a person is part of the matter.
- Asset investigations when financial questions are part of a related divorce investigation.
Planning With You and Your Attorney
Tell us whether an attorney is involved and what questions the investigation needs to address. We can discuss the scope, schedule, documentation and costs so you and your attorney can decide whether the proposed work fits your needs.
MSI has served clients since 1959. We understand that custody matters are sensitive and discuss a discreet way to communicate with you throughout the assignment.
