There are a variety of reasons why investigating infidelity on your own might not be the best option. For one, it can be both emotionally and physically draining. A well-trained private investigator will find more information in less time and will remain emotionally detached. The validity of evidence is also more concrete when gathered by an investigator. While an upset spouse may capture pictures or video of their cheating spouse, this evidence may not be considered valid by a court of law. A private investigator is unbiased and knowledgeable about family law so their proof will stand up in court. This is why you should consider hiring RCI when you suspect such infidelity in order to either confirm or excoriate your suspicions.

Child Custody & Domestic investigations
RCI’s primary concern is also what is in the best interest of your child. Obtaining information and evidence that shows neglect or abuse whether it be from the use of drugs or alcohol by a parent or even the lack of basic things such as sleep, getting to school on time, or other essentials can be critical in ensuring their safety and security.
Some of the things we are asked to conduct domestic investigations and surveillance are:
Some of the things we are asked to conduct domestic investigations and surveillance are:
- Criminal activity
- Drug or alcohol abuse
- Reckless driving and failure to use proper restraints (child seats and seatbelts)
- Having criminals or dangerous individuals around the child
- Leaving the child in the care of an unqualified, unapproved or unlicensed provider
- Leaving the child in the care of an abusive or elderly parent who is unable to properly care for them
- And much more
In many cases of divorce or separation where parents of a child have worked out a visitation/custody situation, it may not always be in the child’s best interest. The court may not have sufficient evidence at the time to identify that there are issues with either parent that may be putting the child at risk.
You may be aware of the things that the court isn’t. We want to help you or your client get efficient evidence so that they see it clearly, too.
Your child may begin to display signs of abuse, verbally report abuse, one or more parents may move to a different area and not notify the court, a parent can begin having family members, friends or overnight guests around the child that could potentially endanger them, begin using drugs or alcohol around the child while they are in their care, and much more.
Our experienced and qualified investigators can obtain the video, photo, witness or physical evidence needed that can greatly influence the outcome or decision of the court to award custody to the responsible parent. It could even save a child’s life.
Private Investigators are independent, unbiased witnesses who can accurately document, articulate and describe what they see and hear during an investigation, which gives clients an opportunity to present their case accordingly.
Every case is different and requires the right approach to get efficient evidence that works best for that particular matter. The majority of child custody and domestic investigations are most successful in Orange County, Los Angeles, and San Diego when utilizing surveillance, where video and photo evidence can be obtained showing any number of forms of abuse or neglect.

Cheating Spouse investigations
The suspicion that your spouse may be cheating is a painful thought. Unfortunately, if you have a suspicion that your spouse is unfaithful, you may be right. According to statistics, wives who suspect their husbands of cheating are correct 85% of the time, while husbands who suspect their wives of cheating are correct 50% of the time. Therapist Peggy Vaughan’s research has suggested that approximately 60% of men and 40% of women will cheat at least once in their marriage. Despite the prevalence of cheating, 70% of married women and 54% of married men do not know about their spouse’s infidelity.
Everyone says they’ll be faithful to their spouse or significant other. It’s what they do when tempted that counts. You can wait until they are – everyone worth a second look will be sooner or later – or you can secretly arrange a test. We deploy undercover operatives to determine how specified subjects react when given an opportunity to interact with an attractive, apparently available agent posing as someone who might be interested.

- The cool-headedness and smarts to know how to follow a script, then slip away and disappear when the mission is accomplished
- The kind of confidence that comes only with experience in navigating through the gender divide, creating interest and opportunities along the way
Strategies we employ:
- Entice
- Listen
- Converse
- Elicit
- Drink
- Record (using hidden cameras)

Divorce
When contemplating a divorce, a spouse may sometimes attempt to hide assets to avoid splitting them. As part of a divorce investigation, RCI can investigate a spouse’s finances and discover hidden assets such as private bank accounts, unreported income, travelers’ checks, false payments, retirement accounts, and more. A divorce investigation may also help prove that a spouse squandered marital property and should not be awarded half of what remains, especially in cases of suspected adultery or cheating. RCI understands the importance of ensuring that the subject is completely unaware of the investigation and conduct these types of searches with the utmost discretion.
Physical Abuse & Elder Care investigations
If you suspect an elderly person is being neglected, abused, or taken advantage of, do not waste any time. Call RCI immediately for an elder abuse investigation. By doing a thorough investigation, we will determine the extent of the abuse. If the issue involves theft or embezzlement, our investigators will be able to trace the losses and identify all of the guilty parties. We work confidentially to make sure you get the answers you need. In cases of elder abuse, the health and safety of the victim are of the utmost importance.
