Protecting Your Children with Proactive Custody Background Investigations

At Gradoni & Associates, we understand that nothing is more important than the safety and well-being of your children. After a custody case is settled, one parent typically maintains primary possession of the children while the other has visitation every other weekend. Over the years, we have seen many parents express concern about the individuals their children may be exposed to during these visits, specifically, their ex-partner’s new significant other.

That’s where proactive custody background investigations come in. For more than three decades, our team at Gradoni & Associates has helped concerned parents gather facts about the individuals who will be spending time with their children, allowing them to make informed decisions and maintain peace of mind.

Why Request a Custody Background Investigation?

When your children are involved, peace of mind is priceless. A custody background check can help provide critical insight into a person’s history and character, ensuring your child’s safety. Our investigations often uncover details that would not otherwise come to light, including the following:

• Criminal History: We can find any records of arrests, convictions, or pending charges.
• Marriages and Divorces: This information can provide insights into patterns of past relationships.
• Employment History: We work to verify the person in question’s work background and financial stability.
• Social Media Activity: Social media can provide a wealth of information about lifestyle choices, behavior, and red flags through posts, photos, and online interactions.

A Real-Life Example: The Case of “Butch”

One of our most memorable cases involved a client we previously assisted in a custody dispute. Concerned about his children’s exposure to his ex-wife’s new boyfriend, he hired us to run a background investigation.

The results spoke for themselves. While reviewing the boyfriend’s Facebook profile, we found photos of him proudly posing with his Pitbull, Butch. In the picture, he was holding a stick of marijuana. Needless to say, he failed the test for being a safe and responsible guardian figure. (Butch, for his part, didn’t look too concerned either way.)

This case illustrates how social media investigations can reveal behaviors that may otherwise stay hidden. When children’s safety is at stake, these insights are invaluable.
