Private Marital Investigations

Through the course of marriage or perhaps a serious relationship, trust and commitment are intrinsic and psychological well-being is important towards living a full and happy life. Unfortunately, there are times when a partner may go astray and become errant with their physical and/or emotional needs. We listen, we care and we can help!

It’s a position no one ever wants to be in: you suspect that your partner or a family member is having an affair. You hope with everything that your suspicions are wrong, but you need to get closure in order to move forward, or present as evidence for divorce proceedings or child custody.
 

Whether you are going through a divorce, separation, or are simply suspicious of a partner’s infidelity, Collier Investigations’ can help give you the peace of mind you need. Our Matrimonial Investigators can assist in locating marital assets for divorce proceedings, evidence of income for child support proceedings, child endangerment for child custody proceedings, and background checks to ensure yours or your children’s safety.

Do I need to prove infidelity to file for divorce?

Most states are no-fault divorce states, including Florida, so proving infidelity will not impact a divorce case. However, in rare situations, asset distribution may be affected if assets were used to pay for the extramarital affair.

How can infidelity impact a child custody case?

This can depend on each situation and case, but infidelity in itself is not a major factor in a child custody case. However, if the person committing infidelity is acting inappropriate in front of the child, or placing them in danger or neglect, (eg. spouse goes out to bars at night to hookup, leaving the child alone at home, or the new partner poses a risk to the child’s safety and well being.) these are grounds that can affect child custody.

How much does an infidelity investigation cost?

The cost to hire a private investigator to investigate a cheating spouse or partner depends on the services you require. (Eg. a basic background check vs. several days of surveillance) Basic background checks can run between $250.00-$500.00, however, surveillance can require a retainer of at least $1,000.00 or more. This all depends on the distance our investigators need to travel, as well as the amount of hours or days you need to conduct surveillance. We provide a free estimate to help you in your decision of what services you need and how they can fit your budget.

Do I need to hire an investigator to investigate whether my spouse/partner is cheating?

The truth is that the majority of people who suspect there is infidelity are usually right. According to statistics, women are especially attune, with 85% of women who suspected their partner was cheating were correct, while 50% of men correctly suspected their partner of infidelity.

This may come as a surprise, given the stereotype of the industry, but we only take on a limited number of infidelity cases, based on very specific parameters. (Such as, but not limited to: The well-being of a child is at risk when the suspected infidelity is occurring or evidence is needed for asset distribution in a divorce case).
