Divorce cases can be emotionally charged and complex, especially when it comes to child custody and community property. For more than thirty years, our seasoned team of private investigators at Gradoni & Associates has worked alongside many family law attorneys and their clients, helping them navigate the most challenging divorce cases and achieve fair outcomes. Whether it’s locating undisclosed assets, documenting infidelity, or discovering evidence of child endangerment, we work tirelessly to gather the facts that your attorneys need to build a stronger, more credible case.

Why Attorneys Rely on Investigators in Divorce Proceedings

Family law attorneys depend on accurate information. Yet, when one spouse hides income, conceals property, or engages in conduct that may affect custody, it can be nearly impossible for an attorney to prove it without professional help.

Every divorce is unique, but over the years, we have found four recurring areas where investigative work uncovers critical information.

• Hidden Assets and Undisclosed Income:We often see spouses moving money into secret accounts, undervaluing business holdings, or delaying bonuses and commissions until after finalizing a divorce. Our private investigators use financial tracing, asset searches, and public records to ensure we bring everything subject to division to light.
• Infidelity and Marital Misconduct: While divorces are often filed under “no-fault” grounds, infidelity or misconduct can impact a spouse’s credibility and influence negotiations. Our team offers discreet surveillance and investigations to help our clients verify suspicions and establish the truth, helping family attorneys make informed strategic decisions during negotiations.
• Evidence of Child Endangerment: When it comes to custody and visitation disputes, a child’s well-being always comes first. Our investigators document behaviors and environments that may pose a risk to your child’s safety, whether it’s substance abuse, criminal activity, family violence, exposure to dangerous individuals, or other nefarious activities that put the child at risk. The facts we uncover often become decisive in custody hearings.

Investigative Techniques We Use to Build a Strong Case

Our team at Gradoni & Associates combines traditional fieldwork with advanced technology to uncover the truth. The following are some of the services we offer:

• Surveillance: We conduct surveillance to document patterns of behavior using time-stamped photos and video, providing undeniable evidence of activity, associations, and conduct.
• Financial Tracing: We trace assets, bank records, property ownership, and lifestyle spending to locate funds or property that may otherwise remain hidden.
• Witness Interviews: We interview witnesses, including neighbors, employees, or associates, to corroborate or challenge claims made in court.
• Digital Forensics: We recover data from phones, computers, and social-media platforms to reveal communications or digital trails that support a client’s case.

Each investigation is customized to your unique situation. We gather facts discreetly, efficiently, and within full legal compliance, so every shred of evidence we produce stands up in court.
