Child Custody Investigations by Private Detectives

Is your child well cared for by your former partner? Are they capable of supervising and providing for a child? Do they live in a child-appropriate environment, or is your child exposed to harmful influences?

 

In custody matters, parties often rely on the assistance of our IHK-certified private detectives in Bonn for verification and evidence purposes – we are happy to assist you as well: +49 228 2861 4084.

Legally Admissible Evidence of Custody Violations

The term “custody violation” is often confused with or equated to a breach of supervisory duty, but it encompasses much more and can take various forms. Custody does not only mean ensuring that nothing happens to the child, but also that the child behaves socially appropriately, is properly cared for (food, clothing), remains healthy, attends school regularly (compulsory education), and has sufficient free time for personal activities. Attending to the child’s needs and abilities is the responsibility of both parents – both the parent with whom the child lives and the parent who has visitation rights.

 

But what if you suspect that your ex-partner is not acting responsibly or lovingly toward the child, or may even be abusive? Mere suspicion is, of course, insufficient to convince a court – you need concrete, legally admissible evidence. Our experienced private detective agency in Bonn conducts observations to determine how the suspected parent and their social environment interact with the child. The findings are documented in a manner admissible in court.

Our Bonn detectives also investigate cases of child abduction. In many instances, the child is intercepted by the non-custodial parent at school and then taken away.

Crime | Alcohol Consumption | Drug Addiction

Perhaps you believe your child is well cared for by your ex, everything seems normal, and you have no suspicions – until an outsider, such as a friend, neighbour, or family member, points out questionable behaviour. Your ex may engage in excessive alcohol or even drug use, or be involved in criminal activities. Even if they behave appropriately in the child’s presence, contact with dubious individuals or an intoxicated or drug-influenced parent is still unsuitable for a child. Especially in cases of substance abuse, there is no guarantee that seemingly reasonable behaviour today will not deteriorate drastically in the future. As noted, mere suspicion of a custody violation is insufficient to restrict the ex’s contact with the child; a family court will require solid evidence.

 

In addition to observations, it is often advisable in such cases to conduct covert interviews with neighbours and friends of the ex-partner to examine their living circumstances.
