How a Child Custody Private Investigator Can Help

At Advanced Investigations, LLC, our main concern is the safety and well-being of your child. We are committed to securing your child’s best interests and your parental rights and are solely focused on gathering the evidence necessary to find the truth. 

Connecticut has consistently ranked 23rd in divorce rates nationwide, demonstrating just how many families are affected by legal changes. Since custody conflicts are common, a thorough investigation can provide the evidence necessary to protect the child’s interests.

At Advanced Investigations, LLC, our child custody private investigators can help uncover proof to determine the following:

• If children are being neglected or abused, either verbally or physically. Connecticut saw a child abuse or neglect rate of 8.8 children per 1,000 in 2020.
• If supervised visitation requirements are being met by a co-parent during their visitation time.
• If a child’s safety is at risk because of who their parent is spending time with. For example, if one parent is friends with or dating a registered sex offender. In North Haven alone, there are 11 registered sex offenders living in the area, as of December 2025. 
• If there are any activities taking place around children or if their environment is unsafe.

We can also speak with witnesses, such as ex-friends, family members, and neighbors, to help determine the safety and well-being of your child when in the custody of the co-parent.

At Advanced Investigations, LLC, we are fully aware of state child custody and family law and can use this knowledge to your advantage during our investigation. In some of the most serious cases, if you believe a co-parent has abducted a child and taken them out of the state, we are here to help you seek justice. 

What Does a Child Custody Private Investigator Look For?

During a child custody private investigation, the team at Advanced Investigations, LLC, looks for any evidence that can prove there are circumstances or events taking place that could or have already had a negative impact on the child.

When you work with Advanced Investigations, LLC, you can rest assured that we will leave no detail uncovered. At the most basic level, we look out for the following behaviors when investigating co-parents:

• Engagement in any kind of criminal activity
• Drugs and alcohol usage in a negligent or unsafe manner around the child
• Interactions with felons or other dangerous members of society while caring for the child
• Neglecting responsibility to take the child to school, scheduled activities, or doctor’s appointments
• Engagement in any form of reckless driving or failure to use the proper seatbelts or car seats required for the child
• Leaving the child in the care of an unqualified, dangerous, or inappropriate individual, or if they are left in the care of a party who is not of an appropriate age

If any of these circumstances are present, the team at Advanced Investigations, LLC, is here to uncover the truth to present in the Connecticut family law court. 

Evidence Commonly Used in Court From a Private Investigation

When a private investigator is hired to assist in a child custody case in Connecticut, there are usually three main forms of evidence gathered that can be used in court. This can include:

• Witness statements. In a child custody private investigation, these witness statements can take many forms. Commonly, the most important witnesses are those who can state they saw the child in question being abused or neglected by the parent under investigation. 
• Images, audio, or video from surveillance. These forms of evidence can often show that the child is being subjected to abuse, neglect, or unsafe individuals and environments.
• Public record information. Often, the final piece in a complete and comprehensive child custody private investigation is using public records and information to research more relevant information about the parent. This can include searching through any court databases, criminal records, or DMV records. A private investigator might also conduct research on the subject’s work history and their behavior while on the job.
