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. Planned surveillance can test a defined concern and provide a factual account of what was observed.

Divorce evidence

Where a lawful investigation is appropriate, we gather relevant facts discreetly and prepare a clear report for review by your solicitor.

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, lawful background enquiries can test identity, previous marriages, business interests and other relevant claims.

Our process

How a relationship investigation works

We keep you informed at every stage. No surprises, no jargon, no pressure.

Confidential conversation

You speak with an experienced investigator who will listen without judgement. Tell us what you have noticed and what concerns you. There is no obligation to proceed.

Tailored plan

We design an investigation approach specific to your situation. You agree the scope, methods and costs before anything starts.

Discreet investigation

Our team gathers evidence through surveillance, background checks or other appropriate methods. You receive progress updates throughout.

Clear answers

You receive a professional report containing the evidence gathered and any limits affecting the findings. It can be supplied to your authorised legal adviser where required.

Why choose UKPI

Why choose UKPI for relationship investigations

Sensitive, human approach

We understand this is one of the hardest calls you will make. Our team is trained to handle personal cases with genuine empathy and zero judgement.

Agreed scope and timing

The proposed method, likely timescale and cost are set out before work begins. If circumstances change, we explain the choice before further work is authorised.

Clear factual reporting

Reports separate what was observed from interpretation and record relevant dates, times and supporting material. A court or tribunal decides whether evidence is admitted.

Confidential handling

We agree a safe way to communicate and restrict case information to those involved in the instruction, subject to legal obligations.

Female investigators available

If you would feel more comfortable speaking with a female investigator, we are happy to arrange this.

Transparent pricing

The infidelity package starts from £295. Other work is quoted against the agreed method, time, team size, travel and reporting requirements.

Transparency

Our professional standards

Our relationship investigations are planned around a lawful purpose, proportionate methods, and clear factual reporting from the outset.

  • We gather evidence lawfully, without entrapment or staged encounters.
  • We protect privacy and never hack phones, emails, or accounts.
  • We investigate facts; counsellors and solicitors provide specialist advice.
  • We report evidence honestly without promising outcomes or fabricating material.
  • We conduct surveillance within applicable privacy and investigatory law.

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.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions about relationship investigations

The work is planned discreetly and contact arrangements are agreed with you. No responsible investigator can guarantee that covert work will never be noticed, but the plan is designed to reduce unnecessary contact and risk.

Availability depends on the required method, location and timing. Urgent work may be possible, but the start time is confirmed with you before the instruction is accepted.

Reports, photographs and video can be prepared for potential use in legal proceedings and supplied to your authorised solicitor. Whether material is admitted, and the weight given to it, are decisions for the relevant court or tribunal.

A result that does not support the concern is still useful. The report records what was observed during the agreed work and any limits affecting the findings. You pay only for the work that was authorised and completed.
