Why Do Marriages End In Divorce?
Here are some common reasons a marriage may end in divorce:
-
Growing apart. Growing usually denotes a good thing, but growing apart is just a "feel good" term used to say that there is no longer any interest in honoring ones commitment.
-
Extramarital affairs or infidelity is a fancy way of saying they cheat. Again, no honor, just selfish gain.
-
Lack of commitment means that they just gave up, or don't really care.
-
Financial problems can lead to one or the other resenting their marriage mate.
-
Disagreements related to children which can include religion and lifestyles. It is especially difficult for step-parents.
-
Alcohol or drug abuse is a leading contributor to divorce. Mental health issues play a big part in substance abuse.
-
Domestic violence and abuse are strong catalysts for divorce, and rightly so. If you are facing domestic threats, contact us.
-
Constant arguing and conflict over everything and nothing is an indicator that your partner is nit-picking and no longer interested in maintaining the marriage.
-
Differing lifestyles and values is another fly-by-night way of saying that your partner no longer wants the same thing and will just treat your marriage as disposable refuse when they get a whim to go in some far flung direction.

How We Help Win Child Custody Cases
We help parents during child custody disputes. Our assistance is specialized in that we aid private client parents, like you, along with attorneys to help win child custody cases. We do this through the use of investigative efforts that look at and lawfully expose bad parents. We believe bad parents contribute to a pretty dismal looking society. Good parents nurture, understand and direct their children to becoming valuable contributing members of their communities.
We support parents by legally documenting bad behavior, unknown facts, and illegally obscured details that make the parent seem like a prince(ss) when really they're a bad actor (poor parent).
We desire to see your children grow up in a healthy environment, and if that means we document the other parent lying, cheating, or committing fraud and perjury, then so-be-it.

Cheating Spouse Infidelity Investigations
When you know, you know. California is a no-fault state that allows you to file for divorce for any reason. You don't need to prove infidelity. Cheaters will be cheaters and you are allowed to file the divorce and quickly move on, especially if there were no children born into the marriage.
Whether there were children or not, many people feel they need to prove that their husband/wife or partner is unfaithful. It can be a matter of their own self sanity. Also, many are in relationships with people that their family may love and even defend the offending mate. In times like this many DivoreDetectives clients want to know and want to prove that their mate has been unfaithful. It may especially be helpful to prove to others that you were right.
How DivorceDetectives Catches Cheaters
We work closely with you, our client. We want to learn everything we can in order to successfully catch your partner if they are cheating. Not every time is a potential errant spouse caught in the act. It's important for us to work with you on dates, times, events, etc. in order to learn the best possible time to conduct our surveillance observations. Surveillance is how we catch cheaters.
Infidelity Surveillance Investigations
We are often asked: What is surveillance? Surveillance is an industry term used by private investigators when they watch a person discreetly. Private detectives will work usually in a team of two to three surveillance operators, especially if the person under observation will be driving in metropolitan areas.
The surveillance team will work in concert to ensure that the surveillance is uninterrupted. This ensures no details are missed and if your spouse is cheating, we will catch them.

How much does a background check cost?We custom tailor each background check to the needs of the matter at hand. You can count on a background check starting at $416 for a good point of reference. However, depending on what you require, many cost around $1250 and into the many thousands of dollars, again, depending on what your mission is and what is important to know.
-
What does a background investigation cost?Background investigations are more in-depth and can focus on a certain area, be broad in nature or go very deep. Background investigations start at $1250.00
-
What's the differnece in a background check/investigation and criminal history?Criminal history investigations can be part of a background check/investigation. They can also be a stand alone service you choose to hire us for. Criminal history checks start at $400 where a basic background check starts at $600.
-
How long does a background check/investigation take?Depending upon the information you desire, a background check can be completed the same day. This is especially true of criminal history checks that use our proprietary sources to see if the Subject of investigation has a criminal history in the State and Counties we have access to. Some take longer, this is solely dependent upon how deep you wish to go. Some background investigations can take a month, but this is generally the case when we are interviewing people during the background investigation.
-
Is the background check/investigation discreet?100% yes. There is nothing that leaves a trail on discreet background inquiries. However, some types of background investigations need the subject's permission to go into various areas of their life or if making financial inquiries. We will advise you ahead of time if that is the case so you can decide if this is what you want.
-
Will the person know I am conducting a criminal history check?Nope. No one will ever know, unless you tell them.
-
How much does a criminal history check cost?Prices start at $416. A lot will depend upon how deep the criminal check needs to go. For example, has the person lived in 27 counties across the U.S.? If so, then it can get more expensive than $416. This will also largely depend on whether we need to get the source documents from the courthouse they reside in. This will add significant costs.
-
Why use you for criminal history over those cheap sites online?Because they're crap. They are not private investigators and they do not have access to the proprietary data we have. Plus there is no one working on your case. It's nothing more than a data dump. Sometimes there is accurate information. But do you really want to trust your decision to a cheap, unreliable data dump? Of course not! We have a lot to say about these online sources, but read more in our blog articles.
-
Do you conduct nationwide criminal checks?It is very misleading when private investigators talk about "nationwide" criminal history investigations. There are many nuances to this investigation, including which counting is reporting current data, what State has access to what information, etc. It's complex and best explained when you consult with us. Suffice it to say, there is no way we can just plug someones identifiers in and spit out a nationwide record, there are nuances to know and understand. Sometimes, records are not available unless we send someone to that particular courthouse.
