We are a Sydney private investigator service experienced in Child Custody, Child Access, Child Welfare, investigations. We have vast experience in family investigations, court preparation. Gathering evidence of breaches, of risks, of behaviours, is legal. It is necessary.

Using a private investigator is legal. The evidence obtained can be used for court, a tribunal, personal information, or negotiations. We are experienced in family law investigations. Evidence is a major element of all court cases; without evidence the truth remains an allegation. That simple premise drives out investigations.

In child custody, child access, child welfare, investigations the private investigator generally uses surveillance to gather evidence of risks, breaches, circumstances not being as they are stated in court. Evidence is crucial, as the truth, without supporting evidence, or surrounding circumstances, is an allegation in a contested matter; no, or very little, weight may be placed on it by the judge.

The focus of the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia is risk, safety, of children. All evidence, and investigation, must be focused on evidence to provide evidence of risk, a threat to children, breaches of orders, and deception of the court. We are aware of this.

In any court credibility is important. Having evidence supporting your statement aids in giving it credibility, weight. Weight of evidence is what moves the needle of the court case scales in your favour. We are here to search for that evidence.

A Sydney private investigator is also used early in a custody action, to gather affidavits, in the correct format, for court. We have been associated with making case law, through our affidavit gathering. Any matter before a court is only as strong as the evidence presented.

A statement, an allegation, by a parent, without supporting evidence, carries little to no weight in court. The objective of our investigations is to gather evidence in support. We are a family law investigator service.

Any court case, be it a child custody, child access, child support, or child welfare matter, a civil, or criminal, matter, is both expensive, and emotionally hard. Evidence, and a good solicitor, are important. The court is an adversarial system of laws and precedent, not a justice system. All elements that you intend to present to a court in support of your position, or to argue against the position of another, need investigating, need supporting information. This may be affidavits of witnesses, school attendance history, academic records, medical records, court records, criminal histories including domestic violence, or surveillance evidence; some evidence may require an application to the court for an order, a subpoena, for production.

Where we come in later in a case, we are generally restricted to gathering surveillance evidence of actions, and activity, or affidavits of witnesses. This must relate to the Court's objectives, with regards the child, children, and exposing them to risk, violence, criminal behaviour or abuse. When you have concerns, these should be investigated.

All court decisions are meant to be based on what is in the best interest of the child, or children, so this is the priority of investigations. The truth is an allegation, in a contested matter, when not supported by evidence, or surrounding circumstances.

Gather as much supporting evidence, including circumstantial evidence, and direct evidence, to support your position. Do not reveal the evidence, or how it is being gathered, until you are ready. Some of our services, such as surveillance, loose effectiveness when revealed to the other side.

If challenged by the opposing side, other than when giving evidence in court, about any potential surveillance ignore the challenge. You have no obligation to them. Honesty, when dealing with a risk to children, may not be the best way to protect a child, children. Some people are paranoid, especially drug users, and the mentally ill, they will accuse you just because. At times it is better if another person is the client, such as a family member, or we are employed through solicitors. That permits a truthful response that you are not having surveillance done. We are professional, we are not spotted, we are careful, and people generally remain unaware. The challenge now is the paranoid, the psychotic, the drug user; they will see us, even if we are not there! They will accuse you, even if you are not using private investigators. If investigating the drug user, the paranoid, we need to know, so we can alter how we do things.

Those with narcissistic tendencies will see it as all about them, and will attack you, alleging things like domestic violence, even where the surveillance establishes they are lying to the court. The evidence speaks for itself. Some will claim domestic violence, even if they are the narcissistic controller who lives in an alternate reality, they will make their version of circumstances fit their belief they are the victim. The objective of investigations is the welfare, and protection, of children; be prepared for them.

We have conducted many family law investigations, and the backlash when someone loses something, be it control, or a financial loss, because the evidence show them to be lying, can be amazing. Some hold grudges. This applies to either sex. Sometimes it is the new partner who instigates the backlash. Be prepared for this. We receive complaints, or complaints about us, from time to time, where we have shown a person to be lying, especially where it costs them money (for some family law matters our investigations, where we have caught people out, it has cost them hundreds of thousands; they do lash out), or court advantage. That is just something that happens.

Talk to your solicitor where there is a negative backlash to you establishing the truth. You have options, and protections, available. Do not be overborne. It does not happen every time, but even for that small number it is a further imposition.

Note that this occurs in a small percentage of court actions, especially where they are really caught out. Do not let this prevent you acting, where you are right. It does not necessarily happen a lot, but it is something to be aware of, when dealing with some personality types, especially the rich, and/or entitled, controlling. It is not your problem, remember that.
