What this is
Providing Proof, in plain terms.
There is a difference between knowing something and being able to show it. A matrimonial matter turns on two things together - that a person was inclined to do the thing, and that they had the opportunity to do it. Either one alone is an argument. Both, documented, is proof.
That standard drives how the work is planned. We are not trying to collect the single dramatic photograph. We are trying to build a record that holds together when somebody hostile reads it line by line, and that your attorney can hand across a table without having to explain it.
The work
What actually gets done.
- Work backwards from what your attorney says the case needs, so the evidence is gathered to fit the argument rather than the other way round.
- Establish inclination through observed conduct, not inference.
- Establish opportunity through documented time, place and duration.
- Corroborate observations from more than one angle where the case warrants it.
- Keep a clean chain of custody on every image and every note.
- Preserve the raw material as captured, so nothing in the file looks edited.
Marriage & Divorce
A record, not an argument.
Dates, places, durations and images, logged as they happen and delivered as a file your attorney can work from. Nothing about how it was gathered should ever become the argument.
What you get
At the end of it.
- A chronological report written to be read by somebody who was not there.
- Original, unedited photographic and video exhibits.
- Investigator notes and logs supporting each entry.
- An investigator who can speak to the file if asked to.
When people call
The three situations we hear most.
Your attorney needs more than your account
Counsel can only work with what is in the file. Testimony about what you believe is thinner than a dated record of what happened.
There are children involved
What a parent does and who they do it around can bear on custody. That raises the standard for the evidence, not lowers it.
You expect to be contradicted
If the other side is going to deny it, the record has to be built to survive that from the beginning.
Questions
About this service.
What does "inclination and opportunity" actually mean?
It is the shorthand for what a matrimonial case has to establish. Inclination is conduct that shows the disposition. Opportunity is being in a position, privately and for long enough, to act on it. Documented together, over more than one occasion, they are what counsel works with.
Will the evidence be admissible?
Admissibility is a decision for a court and a question for your attorney, not for an investigator. What we control is the part that usually decides it: lawful collection, accurate timestamps, unedited originals, and complete notes. We gather it so nothing about how it was obtained becomes the argument.
Can you work directly with my lawyer?
Yes, and it usually produces a better file. When counsel tells us what the case needs, we can aim the work at it instead of gathering broadly and hoping.
Is the first conversation really free?
Yes, and it is confidential. You describe the situation, we tell you whether an investigation is likely to help, roughly what it would involve and what it would cost. There is no charge for that call and no obligation at the end of it.
