Child Custody Investigations

When Relevant Circumstances Need to Be Independently Documented

Concerns involving a child's care, supervision, environment, or a parent's conduct can involve conflicting accounts and information that is difficult to independently verify.

Cochran & Co. conducts child custody investigations focused on objectively observing and documenting relevant conduct and circumstances within the authorized scope of the investigation. Depending on the matter, investigative work may include surveillance, field observation, research, and other appropriate methods.

The purpose of the investigation is not to determine who should receive custody or to produce a predetermined conclusion. It is to develop and document relevant information that may help the client and, when applicable, their attorney better understand the circumstances.

A Professional Approach to Investigative Work

An investigation should follow the information—not a desired conclusion.

Cochran & Co. approaches each assignment with an emphasis on lawful methods, objective fact development, careful documentation, discretion, and clear communication. Observations, information obtained from others, records, supported investigative inferences, and information that cannot be verified are treated according to what they actually represent.

That distinction matters.

Whether an investigation confirms a concern, contradicts an assumption, or produces limited findings, the responsibility of the investigator remains the same: conduct the work professionally and report what the investigation supports.

What to Expect

  1. 1. Initial Consultation

    Contact Cochran & Co. to discuss the situation, your investigative objective, and the information currently available. An initial inquiry does not automatically create an investigator-client relationship or mean that a matter has been accepted.

  2. 2. Case Review & Scope

    If the matter appears appropriate for investigation, Cochran & Co. will discuss potential investigative approaches, scope, applicable rates, anticipated costs, and engagement requirements.

  3. 3. Investigation

    After the matter is accepted and required engagement arrangements are completed, investigative activity proceeds according to the authorized scope, circumstances encountered, and professional judgment of the investigator.

  4. 4. Findings & Documentation

    Relevant investigative activity and findings are documented and communicated according to the nature of the assignment. Reports, photographs, video, or other appropriate documentation may be provided when applicable.
