💬 Introduction: Timing Is Everything

Child custody battles are emotionally draining — and sometimes, the truth gets lost in the middle of the conflict. Parents often wait until they’re deep into court proceedings before hiring a private investigator, but by then, valuable time and evidence can be lost.At Safe Keeping Investigations, we’ve seen it time and again: early action leads to stronger cases, clearer documentation, and better outcomes for families. So, how do you know when it’s time to bring in professional help?


1️⃣ When the Other Parent Isn’t Following Court Orders

If your co-parent isn’t respecting visitation schedules, exposing your child to unsafe environments, or frequently “changing plans,” those actions can directly impact custody arrangements. A private investigator can document violations of custody orders through surveillance, timestamps, and verified reports — all of which hold significant weight in Louisiana family courts.

“In custody disputes, documented facts matter more than emotional claims.”

2️⃣ When You Suspect Neglect, Abuse, or Substance Use

If your child comes home acting differently, mentions unsafe people, or you have reason to suspect substance use around them, it’s natural to worry. Hiring a private investigator ensures objective, court-admissible evidence — not speculation or hearsay.

Investigators are trained to observe and report discreetly, never escalating the situation or putting anyone in harm’s way.


3️⃣ When You’re Preparing for a Custody Modification

Life changes — and sometimes, so should your custody arrangement. Whether you’ve noticed unsafe patterns, relocation issues, or changes in your child’s behavior, hiring a PI early allows you to collect consistent, credible documentation before filing for modification. The court values patterns over isolated incidents — a PI helps you establish those patterns over time.


4️⃣ When You Need to Strengthen Your Case Before Court

Attorneys across Louisiana often work with investigators to ensure every case is backed by factual, organized evidence.

Private investigators can:

  • Gather photographic and video surveillance
  • Conduct background checks
  • Verify living conditions and employment
  • Locate witnesses or individuals who can support your claim

Each piece of evidence is verified, timestamped, and presented in a professional report designed to withstand courtroom scrutiny.


5️⃣ When You Need Peace of Mind

Sometimes, hiring a PI isn’t about catching wrongdoing — it’s about reassurance.

Many parents simply want to know their child is safe, routines are followed, and both parents are honoring the court’s decisions.At Safe Keeping Investigations, we understand that peace of mind is priceless — and we treat every case with compassion and confidentiality.
