Divorce splits partners, possessions, and most significantly it separates parents from their children. Often, custody agreements end up in court battles. That is when your ability to support your case becomes crucial. To do so, you may need the services of a private investigator.
Lenny Golino of Gold Shield Elite Investigations, LLC, has handled many such cases. He emphasizes the usefulness of getting professional investigative help early if there are issues of fact that need proof.
One of his recent cases involved a father in a custody dispute with his ex-wife, who had sought to discredit him by calling in false complaints against him to the local police. Gold Shield Elite recommended a program of “counter-surveillance,” making a video record of their own client. The ex-wife soon called in another complaint, charging that her ex-husband had violated her Order of Protection by approaching her and pushing her.
Fortunately, Gold Shield Elite had a video record of the incident in question, showing that the woman approached the man, not vice-versa, and that he did not touch her.
The evidence so impressed the court that the Order of Protection was vacated. The whole complexion of the trial changed, in the ex-husband‘s favor. The wife was subsequently charged with filing a false report.
Evidence of drinking and then driving the children or of failing to use the car safety equipment with them or of leaving them unattended inappropriately often helps decide details of custody and visitation in court.
If you are involved in such a child-custody dispute, get investigative assistance earlier rather than later. The outcome may depend on it.
