Child Custody Investigations

September 22, 2011 By
Silent Partner Investigation of Atlanta offers cautious and sensitive examination for a number of domestic, corporate and technological issues. Perhaps the most difficult type of investigation we engage in is international kidnapping.
When a child is criminally abducted the pain is agonizing, but when the child has been snatched to another country, the anguish is intensified given the fact that many children are never returned to their parent in the United States. Parental abduction is defined as the seizing, withholding, or disguise of a child or children, by a parent, or other family member, in violation of the custody agreement, of another parent or family member. The
abduction can also occur when one parent fails to return the child to the other
following a planned visitation. The parent who is left behind faces the devastating and daunting task of trying to find and recover their child. Years can pass and financial resources can be depleted with no knowledge of your child’s life. Some parents in similar situations feel it is worse than the death of your child – the unresolved grief and fear of not knowing if your child is being abused or neglected. Often parents that have their children
returned live in a constant fear and anxiety that it can happen again.
While the number of international abduction cases are relatively small compared to domestic abduction cases, they are the most difficult to solve due to conflicting global jurisdictions. International abduction cases are not new, but have escalated as international travel has increased, bi-cultural marriages have multiplied and the divorce rate has escalated. Two-thirds of all international abductions are committed by mothers
who claim domestic violence. Even when there is a treaty agreement, a country
may be reluctant to return a child to the United States knowing that the primary caregiver may face criminal prosecution or deportation. But, your focus should always be on recovery because it is directly related to length of separation. The period of separation is much shorter when a recovery has been pursued. Research has shown that the trauma caused by a long period of separation from the left behind parent is damaging. Children recovered after a shorter period of time did not give up hope of being reunited with the left
behind parent and also did not develop an intense loyalty to their abductor.

Atlanta Private Investigations Service

May 16, 2011 By

Atlanta Private Investigators are some of the most important professionals to those who are trying to find information needed for their own well being and/or peace of mind. One may be trying to catch a cheating spouse or could be looking for a simple background check on a babysitter or nanny. Private investigators can handle a wide variety of cases and provide various benefits to those in search of serious information. Know these benefits to understand why Silent Partner PI is right for your needs.

While it is nice to think that every couple has complete trust in their spouse, not all do. If you think that your spouse is acting shady and different, or may have found out that they have been keeping secrets from you, a private investigator can discreetly find out exactly what is going on so you may have peace of mind. This is ideal for those who are pretty sure they have a cheating spouse but may need concrete proof for a divorce case. It is unfortunate but the reality is that cheating happens all the time.

Background checks are a critical part of various jobs in our society – some government positions as well as other jobs such as babysitters/nannys, nurses, teachers and retail positions where one will be handling cash require a thorough background check before beginning work. Most reputable companies want to know that the ones they are hiring are who they say they are and are trustworthy to bring into their business. Private investigators can easily perform background checks on these individuals so there is never a question of anyones’ character when going through the hiring process. This helps ensure peace of mind with those they are putting trust in.

Private Investigators are also commonly hired for international child custody cases. Whether a child is taken out of the country by a parent, legal guardian or even kidnapped by a stranger, it is very difficult to handle those legal matters by yourself. To get through the proper channels and to obtain the information you need legally is difficult and you do need someone with experience to handle the foreign affairs. A private investigator is going to be able to compile all of the information needed to help get the child back safely. It is important for you to find a company that has experience in this field and that you can trust.

A reputable Atlanta Private Investigator will be able to provide you with top-notch services ranging from background checks, divorce cases, insurance fraud investigations to international child kidnapping cases. Choose wisely and always ask questions to ensure you are comfortable with your investigator.

5 Reasons to Hire a Private Detective

October 25, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Private Detectives are useful in many situations. The police have a certain procedure that they have to follow and cannot always show you the individual attention that your case deserves. Private Detectives Atlanta is another story. They are on your side and will diligently work to solve any problems that you may have. Here are a few situations where Atlanta Private Investigation would be the best choice to contact:

1. Missing Person – If you think that someone may have gone missing then you need to hire an Atlanta Private Investigation service. Many of the traditional law enforcement agencies are forced to wait for 24 or even 48 hours before they can legally declare a person missing. If the missing person is a loved one then you may know that something is wrong within hours and the more time that elapses, the colder the trail will get. A Private Detective Atlanta can start to gather information as soon as you contact them and begin tracking down your loved one.

2. Child Custody – Sometimes a custody battle will not work out the way that it should and a negligent parent can retain custody. Or sometimes after custody is decided a parent starts doing drugs or mistreating the child. In those cases the only way to get the decision reversed is to gather evidence that proves how that parent is endangering their child. Private Detectives Atlanta can get that evidence for you and act as a witness as well.

3. Divorce – You may think that your spouse is cheating on you but how can you prove it? If you follow them around trying to get proof and you are wrong then the relationship is probably over anyway. Private Detectives can keep a watchful eye on your spouse and provide evidence of infidelity. If none is found then you have piece of mind and your loved one will never know that the Private Detectives were involved.

4. Background Checks – You may need to go the extra mile to verify a person’s history before hiring them. If you are looking for someone to be a live in nanny for instance, you would want to ensure that they don’t have any dark secrets or criminal history. An Atlanta Private Investigation service is trained in background checks and will verify the person’s back story. They will check with friends, family, coworkers and anyone else close to the person to provide you with the most information possible. They can even arrange for drug screenings when needed.

5. Loss Prevention – If you believe that you have employees that are stealing from you but cannot afford to hire your own security team then you should talk to a Private Detective Atlanta. They can be hired on a limited basis and be let go after the problem has been solved.

What services can an Atlanta Private Investigation firm offer their clients?

October 12, 2010 By Leave a Comment

An Atlanta Private Investigator can help you in many situations where the police may find that their hands are tied. The Police have certain procedures and protocols that they must follow but an Atlanta Private Investigation will only be representing you and your best interests.

A good example of this is in a missing person’s case. Let’s say that your wife calls you like clockwork every day at 5:00 on the dot to tell you that she is on her way home. It is now 7:00 and there has been no call and she will not pick up her cell phone. You know that there is something wrong but the police can not call a person missing until they have been gone for 24 hours in most cases. If you were to hire an Atlanta Private Investigator to start the search, they would have a much better chance of picking up the trail than if they had to wait a full day to start looking.

Divorce and child custody are the most popular reason to hire an Atlanta Private Investigation firm. Let’s say that you are having trouble with your spouse and believe that they may be cheating on you. How do you find out? You obviously can’t just ask them and you may not have the heart to follow them around to see what they are doing. An Atlanta Private Investigator can discretely watch and gather data. If they are not cheating, then they will never have to know that you had doubts. If they are cheating and it leads to divorce then the PI’s evidence will come in very handy when you are trying to prove your case in court.

Divorce is a messy business and it is especially so when children are involved. Sometimes the wrong person gets custody because of a mistake in court and the other parent will often have no recourse. If the parent with custody decides to violate the courts orders and leave the state or the country, the court does not have the resources to track them down. That is when you will need to start searching for Private Detectives Atlanta. They can track down the parent and child to provide a detailed location for the courts. If the parent is not longer a suitable guardian for the child and is putting the child in danger then the PI can also gather the evidence needed to remove the child from their custody. If you are having any of these problems then you should get in touch with Silent Partner PI, they be glad to help you.

How to hire Private Detectives in Atlanta

October 12, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Are you afraid that your spouse is cheating on you? Do you think that one of your employees may be stealing money from you electronically? There are all sorts of reasons that you may need to hire an Atlanta Private Investigator but you have to be careful. If you were to type Private Investigator Atlanta into a search engine you will be swamped by companies claiming to be the best but how can you tell which one to hire?

Here are a few things that you will need to look for in a quality Atlanta Private Detection firm:

·     Experience – What is the background of the investigator? Were they military policy, law enforcement, FBI or did they take a two weeks correspondence course online?

·     Licensed – A good Atlanta Private Investigator will be licensed to work in the state of Georgia. Every state has a similar licensing program for private investigators and if they cannot provide documentation of their license then you should steer clear.

·     Insurance – An Atlanta Private Investigator will be working on your behalf and acting as your agent. That means that you will be responsible for anything that they may do while working your case and that includes getting injured. Make sure that they have good insurance because if their insurance can’t do the job then it will fall back on yours to foot the bill.

 Once you have selected a dependable Atlanta Private Detection firm you will want to ask a few questions before hiring them. You should ask:

·     How much will it cost?

·     Have the investigators ever been on cases similar to yours? If so, how many and what was the outcome of the cases.

·     Are they fully insured and bonded?

·     What procedures do they have in place to protect your confidentiality if you need anonymity?

·     Will the person that you are talking to be the one handling the case or will it be handed off to other people. If it will be handed off then you will need to ask the other person all of the above questions as well.

 If you have a good meeting with the investigator and you are satisfied by the answers to all of your questions then it is safe to hire them to work your case. There are a lot of scam artists when it comes to Atlanta Private Investigation but it is worth searching through them to find the truly professional firms.

Atlanta Private Investigations

July 30, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Do you need a PI?

There are some professions that people always hear about others using but cant think of when they would ever need one themselves. Mostly because when they get themselves into a situation where it doesn’t look like anyone can help them, those are the times they should be hiring those professionals.  Atlanta Private Investigations is a good example. A situation where you would need a good Atlanta PI firm often doesn’t pop out at you but will be right in front of you. Are you facing any of these situations?

  • Missing persons – Often times the police or other law enforcement agencies can not help you until a significant amount of time has elapsed, in case the person in question has left of their own volition on vacation or some other trip. Since you know the missing person so much better than the police, you may know that there is something wrong when you haven’t heard from them in a day or even hours depending on how often you interact. So, in that situation it is best to hire a Georgia Private Investigations firm to start looking for them immediately. They are able to give each case their personal scrutiny and work closely with the loved ones until a resolution can be found.
  • Divorce – This is by far the most popular reason for hiring the Silent partner PI firm and probably for other Georgia PI as well. Some studies show that 65% of couples have planned to have, have had or are currently having an adulterous affair. So, when it comes time for the divorce and you need proof of what has been going on, you need a good PI.
  • Child Support or custody – Some people go to great lengths to avoid paying child support. So when one moves or does something to slip off the courts radar they do not have the resource to track them down and enforce payment. In that situation clients find it best to have an Atlanta Private Detective dedicated to finding where they are hiding. Custody is a different matter though. Custody is judged on the situation of the guardian at the time of divorce but that can change after awhile. If they have taken up habits that endanger your children or are hanging around with an unsavory element, a PI can gather the evidence you need to get custody reviewed and hopefully the child removed.
  • Background check – Sometimes private individuals find the need to run background checks on people, so they turn to the online services for the information. If there was a mistake when it was being keyed in or if the data has not been verified on a regular basis then something could be missed. When you use an Alpharetta PI firm like Silent Partner, you know that the information is correct and has been gathered recently. They will perform a criminal background search as well as interview neighbors and co workers. They also help with credit checks drug screening. Plus, all the important information like date of birth, address, employment history and education will be personally verified by the investigator.

 

If you need help with any of these situations, call Silent Partner PI and get the help you need.
