How we help you

Relationship situations we investigate

Every case is different, but these are the most common reasons people come to us for relationship investigations.

Suspected infidelity

Changes in behaviour, unexplained absences, a guarded phone. You deserve to know the truth. Surveillance provides clear, factual answers within days.

Divorce evidence

Your solicitor needs evidence of behaviour, unreasonable conduct or hidden assets for divorce proceedings. We gather it discreetly and present it professionally.

Cohabitation checks

Your former partner claims to live alone but you believe they are cohabiting with a new partner. Evidence of cohabitation can affect your financial obligations.

Online dating verification

You have met someone online and want to know they are genuine before meeting in person or deepening the relationship. We verify their identity and background.

Child welfare concerns

You are worried about the environment your children are in during contact visits. We observe and document conditions discreetly.

Pre-marital checks

Before making a lifelong commitment, background checks can reveal financial problems, previous marriages, criminal records or other concerns.

Real outcomes

Relationship investigation case examples

All names and identifying details have been changed to protect client confidentiality.

The overnight trips

The challenge

A husband had started taking regular overnight "business trips" that could not be verified through his employer. His wife was consumed by doubt.

Our approach

Two nights of surveillance confirmed that the trips were not business-related. Photographic evidence documented his movements and meetings.

The wife used the evidence in divorce proceedings. She described the clarity as "the hardest thing I have ever been grateful for".

The dating app discovery

The challenge

A woman discovered her partner of three years was active on multiple dating apps. He denied it, claiming his account must have been hacked.

Our approach

Digital investigation confirmed active, regular use of the apps with verified logins from his phone. A surveillance operation documented a meeting arranged through the app.

Faced with the evidence, the partner admitted to ongoing contact with multiple people. The client ended the relationship on her terms.

The cohabitation dispute

The challenge

A man paying £2,200 monthly maintenance believed his former wife was cohabiting with her new partner but she denied it in court.

Our approach

Three weeks of documented observation showed the partner arriving six evenings a week, leaving each morning, receiving deliveries and keeping a vehicle at the property.

The court accepted the evidence of cohabitation. The maintenance order was varied, saving the client over £26,000 per year.
