FAMILY LAW INVESTIGATIONS

Family-law matters often involve factual questions that cannot be resolved through documents and statements alone. A parent’s activities may need independent documentation. A spouse may be difficult to locate. Questions about cohabitation, lifestyle, employment, business interests, assets, or publicly available social-media activity may require additional investigation.

Mayn Investigations FL provides family law investigations throughout Florida for family-law attorneys, law firms, private clients, and other authorized parties. Investigative assignments may involve child custody, surveillance, infidelity, divorce, cohabitation, support modification, hidden assets, background investigations, social-media research, lifestyle activity, and difficult-to-locate spouses or parties.

The purpose of a family-law investigation is to develop and document relevant facts. Investigators report what they observe, locate, or lawfully obtain. Attorneys and authorized clients can then evaluate those findings within the broader circumstances of the matter.

Mayn Investigations FL states that it is licensed, bonded, and insured in Florida under Agency License #A3400126. The company identifies its investigators as Florida-licensed professionals who undergo background checks and proprietary training, with field investigators having military or law-enforcement backgrounds.

Family Law Investigations in Florida

Family-law investigations can provide additional factual information when a case involves disputed conduct, unanswered questions, or information that requires independent verification.

Mayn Investigations FL provides investigative support involving:

The investigation begins with a defined question. That question may concern where someone is living, what activities are occurring, whether reported circumstances are consistent with observable conduct, or whether additional information should be developed for attorney review.

The investigator’s role is to document relevant facts. The investigator does not determine custody, alimony, credibility, marital misconduct, or other legal issues.

Family Law Investigation Services

Child Custody Investigations

Child custody matters can involve concerns about a parent’s conduct, living arrangements, supervision, travel, activities, or compliance with established arrangements.

Depending on the assignment, investigators may document observable information involving:

The investigator documents what is actually observed. Counsel and the court determine how the information relates to custody, parenting time, or another legal issue.

Child Custody Surveillance

Surveillance can provide independent documentation when an attorney or authorized client needs information about a parent’s observable activities.

Depending on the assignment, documentation may include video, photographs, activity logs, time and location information, investigator notes, and chronological reporting.

Because custody investigations may involve children and sensitive family circumstances, the investigative scope should remain tied to a legitimate objective and applicable requirements.

Infidelity Investigations

Suspected infidelity can raise questions about a spouse or partner’s activities, relationships, travel, or living arrangements.

An investigation may involve surveillance, public-source research, activity documentation, or other lawful investigative methods designed to establish observable facts.

The investigator documents what occurred rather than characterizing the nature of a relationship or making legal conclusions about marital conduct.

Infidelity Surveillance

Infidelity surveillance involves discreet observation intended to document relevant activity without relying solely on assumptions or statements.

Depending on the circumstances, investigators may document:

Video, photographs, activity logs, and chronological reports may be produced when appropriate.

Divorce Investigations

Divorce proceedings can involve factual questions concerning relationships, living arrangements, employment, assets, business interests, or other circumstances relevant to the matter.

Investigative support may include:

The scope should be established with counsel or the authorized client so investigative work remains focused on relevant factual questions.

Cohabitation Investigations

Questions about whether a spouse or former partner is living with another person may require independent documentation.

A cohabitation investigation may involve surveillance and other lawful research concerning:

Investigators document observable facts rather than determining whether a legal standard for cohabitation has been met.

Alimony & Support Modification Investigations

Support-related matters may involve questions concerning changes in employment, lifestyle, residence, relationships, business activity, or other circumstances.

Depending on the assignment, investigative services may document:

The investigation provides factual information for attorney review. It does not determine whether support should be modified or whether a party is legally entitled to a particular result.

Hidden Asset Investigations

Asset-related questions can arise during divorce and other family-law proceedings when a party’s financial or business interests require additional research.

Investigative asset research may examine legally available information concerning:

Investigators do not represent that they can access protected bank accounts, private financial records, or confidential information without proper authorization.

Asset investigations may provide leads or documentation for attorneys, financial professionals, and other authorized parties to evaluate.

Spouse & Partner Background Investigations

A spouse, partner, or other relevant individual may have business affiliations, litigation history, professional information, property records, or other publicly available information relevant to a family-law matter.

Background research may include:

The scope should be based on the specific investigative question rather than collecting unnecessary personal information.

Social-Media Investigations for Family Law

Publicly available social-media information can sometimes provide relevant factual leads in family-law matters.

Research may involve publicly displayed:

Investigators do not access private accounts, passwords, private messages, or restricted content without appropriate authorization.

Findings should be documented with sufficient context for counsel or the authorized client to evaluate their source and relevance.

Lifestyle & Activity Investigations

Lifestyle investigations can provide documentation of observable conduct when reported circumstances require independent verification.

Depending on the assignment, investigators may document:

The purpose is to establish a factual record, not to make assumptions about what a person’s lifestyle means legally.

Difficult-to-Locate Spouses & Parties

A spouse, former partner, witness, or other relevant individual may become difficult to locate during a family-law matter.

Investigators can conduct lawful research using available databases, public records, address information, business records, property information, and other investigative resources.

A locate cannot be guaranteed. However, investigative research may develop current or historical information that helps counsel determine the next appropriate step.

Surveillance as a Family Law Investigative Method

Surveillance is one investigative method that may be used across several family-law matters.

It can support investigations involving:

The investigative objective changes according to the case. A custody assignment may focus on parenting-related activity. A support investigation may focus on employment or living arrangements. An infidelity investigation may focus on relationships, travel, or recurring activity.

The same investigative method can therefore serve very different legal and factual questions.

What a Family Law Investigation May Document

Depending on the assignment, documentation may include:

Organized documentation gives attorneys and authorized clients a clearer record of what was investigated, what was observed or obtained, and when relevant events occurred.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a family law investigation?

A family law investigation is investigative work used to develop factual information relevant to a divorce, custody, support, cohabitation, infidelity, asset, or other family-law matter.

Depending on the case, an investigator may conduct surveillance, public-record research, background investigations, social-media research, difficult-party locates, asset-related research, or activity documentation.

The investigator documents factual findings for attorney or client review. Investigative findings do not replace legal advice or determine what result a court should reach.

What does a family law investigator do?

A family law investigator conducts research and fieldwork designed to answer specific factual questions in a family-law matter.

Services may include child custody surveillance, infidelity investigations, cohabitation investigations, lifestyle documentation, difficult-to-locate spouse searches, public-record research, social-media investigations, background research, and asset investigations.

The investigator documents what was observed or lawfully obtained and prepares reporting for review. The scope depends on the case and the information counsel or the client needs to establish.

When should a family-law attorney hire a private investigator?

An attorney may consider investigative support when factual questions cannot be adequately resolved through existing records, statements, or discovery materials.

This can occur when a party’s activities need independent documentation, a witness or spouse is difficult to locate, living arrangements are disputed, or employment and business activity requires verification.

Early investigative involvement can also help identify information that may need to be developed before a hearing, deposition, mediation, or trial.

Can a private investigator conduct child custody surveillance?

Yes. Child custody surveillance can document a parent’s observable activities, interactions, travel, living arrangements, or other conduct relevant to the investigative objective.

Depending on the assignment, investigators may produce video, photographs, activity logs, and chronological reports.

Surveillance does not determine whether a parent is fit or what custody arrangement should be ordered. Those are legal matters for counsel and the court to evaluate using the investigative findings and other evidence.

Can a private investigator investigate infidelity?

Yes. Infidelity investigations may involve discreet surveillance and other lawful investigative methods designed to document observable conduct.

Depending on the assignment, investigators may document meetings, travel, interactions, locations, repeated activity, or other relevant observations.

The investigator reports what was observed rather than making assumptions about the nature of a relationship. Photographs, video, activity logs, and investigative reports may be provided when appropriate.

Can a private investigator document cohabitation?

A private investigator can document observable information that may be relevant to questions about living arrangements or possible cohabitation.

Surveillance may focus on residential activity, repeated overnight stays, vehicles, travel, household activity, and other relevant observations.

The investigator does not determine whether a legal standard for cohabitation has been met. Counsel evaluates the documented information under the applicable law and circumstances of the case.

Can investigators investigate hidden assets in a divorce?

Investigators can conduct lawful research concerning publicly available property records, business ownership, corporate affiliations, public filings, and other asset-related information.

The purpose is to develop factual leads for attorney or authorized professional review.

Investigators should not claim access to private bank accounts or protected financial information without appropriate legal authority. Asset identification and recovery are not guaranteed, and financial professionals may also be needed for a complete financial investigation.

Can investigators conduct social-media investigations for family law?

Yes. Investigators can research publicly available social-media information when there is a lawful investigative purpose.

This may include public photographs, videos, employment information, business affiliations, public statements, travel information, or other publicly displayed activity.

Investigators should not access private accounts, passwords, private messages, or restricted information without proper authorization. Findings should be documented carefully so counsel can assess their relevance and context.

Can a private investigator locate a difficult-to-find spouse?

Investigators can conduct lawful research intended to develop current or relevant location information for a spouse, former partner, witness, or other individual.

Research may involve public records, databases, address history, property information, business affiliations, and other available sources.

A successful locate cannot be guaranteed, particularly when an individual has limited their public footprint. If information is developed, it can be documented and provided to the attorney or authorized client for appropriate follow-up.

How much does a family law investigation cost?

The cost depends on the investigative objective and scope.

Factors can include surveillance hours, travel, number of locations, research requirements, interviews, urgency, and documentation needs.

A focused spouse locate involves different investigative work than multi-day custody surveillance or a broader asset investigation. A confidential consultation can help establish the specific question, determine whether investigation is appropriate, and define the scope before work begins.
