Cheating Spouse Investigations establish the facts when you suspect a partner of infidelity. Investigators observe and record movements and meetings in public places and report what they saw. Send one request and independent investigators reply with availability and prices.
Describe your situation briefly and get quotes for a discreet infidelity investigation.
Request a Private Investigation QuoteWhat It Involves
- Surveillance. Following and observing your partner in public places on agreed days and times.
- Photos and video. Time-stamped images of meetings, vehicles and locations, where lawful.
- Background on a third party. Identifying who your partner is meeting, using public records.
- Lifestyle checks. Open-source and social media review of public information.
Who It Helps
Spouses and partners who notice unexplained absences, secrecy or spending, and people preparing for divorce or maintenance proceedings who want facts before speaking to an attorney.
What to Send First
- Your first name and a safe way to contact you.
- Your town or area.
- The days or times you suspect something happens.
- Whether it is safe to call, email or WhatsApp you.
Do not send photos, messages or screenshots through the request form. Share detail only with the investigator you choose.
How It Works
- Consultation. You discuss the routine, vehicles and suspected times privately with the investigator.
- Plan. You agree the days, hours and budget.
- Surveillance. Operatives observe and record in public places.
- Updates. You get updates during the operation if agreed.
- Report. A written timeline with photos or video of what was observed.
Limits
Investigators may not intercept calls or messages, access phones, email or social media accounts, place tracking devices on vehicles you do not own, or obtain bank, phone or medical records without consent or a court order. Surveillance can only show what happens in places that can lawfully be observed. An operation may show nothing on the days covered, and no investigator can guarantee proof or that a court will accept the evidence.

Cheating Spouse Investigations FAQs
Is it legal to hire a private investigator to follow my spouse?
Yes, if the investigator works lawfully: observing in public places and not hacking devices, intercepting messages or trespassing.
Will my partner find out?
Investigators work discreetly, but no one can promise an operation will never be noticed.
How many days of surveillance do I need?
It depends on how predictable the suspected meetings are. Pinpointing likely days keeps the cost down.
Can the report be used in a divorce?
A factual report and photos can support your attorney, but whether a court accepts them depends on the case. Speak to your attorney.
Can an investigator read my partner's WhatsApp messages?
No. Accessing someone else's phone or accounts without consent is unlawful.
