Child Custody Investigations
How can our investigative team in Houston help your case?
- Our investigations might show that your spouse is routinely bringing around a new partner, while in the company of your child.
- We might find that your spouse has failed to pick up your child from school on several occasions. It could also be that your spouse never spends any serious time with your child.
- We can lay out indisputable facts before a judge which might show negligence, disinterest, or harmful behavior toward your child.
- Your chances of obtaining custody will then be made substantially better. Evidence provided by trained professionals carries considerable weight in a court case and can make all the difference in swaying the judge’s opinion.
Let Us Help You With Your Child Custody Case
We can improve your chances
There are some things you can do which will improve your chances of winning custody, and these will be outlined below.
You can also enlist the aid of Houston’s best investigative team, to help support your case with facts that bolster your claim.
Let’s define some of the ways you can help position yourself favorably to win the custody battle.
Don’t expose the child to your new love interest
One of the worst things you can do while trying to win custody is exposing your child to a new love interest.
During times when the child is with you, it’s best that you do not show any kind of overt affection for a new partner. The courts generally frown on demonstrations of affection with someone else soon after a break-up.
It’s far better for you to spend significant time with your child than to be spending tons of time with a new romantic interest.
Get really involved with your kid’s life
Go to soccer games. Watch a movie together. Take in a baseball game. All these things demonstrate that you enjoy being with your child, and want to be involved in his/her life.
Keep a journal of your activities and your spouse’s
While you’re doing all these activities with your child, keep a journal of them. You can use it to substantiate your claim of concern.
By the same token, you should also keep a journal of your spouse’s involvement, especially the details of any missed pick-ups or no-shows at your child’s events.
Be flexible about visiting times
Try to stay as flexible as possible about spending time with your child. If your spouse needs to change the dates, be ready to do that.
This can be a big selling point in your favor when you’re trying to justify to the judge why you deserve custody more than your spouse does.
Find out your child's preferences for living arrangements
Have an honest talk with your child, so you understand what his/her feelings are about staying with you, as opposed to your spouse.
If the child prefers to be with your spouse, find out if there’s anything that might change that attitude.
If there isn’t – it will be even harder to win your case, unless you can prove there’s a possibility of neglect or harm to the child in your spouse’s custody.
How child custody is decided
- Ultimately, custody will generally be determined by using a plan which the two parents can agree to.
- If parents cannot find common ground, a mediator will get involved to help resolve any disputes.
- If even this action doesn’t help, the judge will make a decision based on the evidence presented in the case.
- Assuming there is no overwhelming factor involved such as child abuse, the judge’s decision will often favor the parent who has demonstrated the most involvement and concern for the child’s welfare.
