What a Child Custody Investigator Does
Michigan family courts make custody decisions based on the best interests of the child. Judges want evidence – not accusations. A licensed private investigator documents what is actually happening when no one is watching, and produces a record that holds up in court.
Eye Spy investigators handle child custody cases involving suspected substance abuse, violation of existing court orders, dangerous living conditions, inappropriate third-party contact, and parenting behavior that puts a child at risk. We work directly with your attorney to ensure what we gather meets the evidentiary standards your case requires.
What We Document in Child Custody Cases
- Substance abuse – alcohol or drug use by a parent while the child is in their care
- Driving under the influence with a child in the vehicle
- Violations of existing custody or court orders
- Dangerous or unsuitable living conditions
- Exposure to individuals with criminal records, including drug offenders or sex offenders
- Neglect or endangerment of the child during custodial periods
- Undisclosed changes to living arrangements or household members
Court-Admissible Evidence for Michigan Family Court
Documentation gathered by a licensed private investigator carries weight in Michigan family court. Judges rely on hard evidence when evaluating custody modifications, violations of court orders, and parental fitness. Eyewitness accounts and social media screenshots rarely hold up the same way.
Eye Spy uses professional-grade HD video cameras, GPS vehicle tracking, and field surveillance techniques to document behavior accurately and discreetly. Everything is time-stamped, logged, and prepared for use by your attorney. We have worked with hundreds of Michigan attorneys on custody cases over our 30 years in business.
Violations of Michigan Custody Orders
If the other parent is violating a court-issued custody order – taking the child outside approved areas, exposing them to prohibited individuals, or failing to follow the terms of the agreement – documentation of those violations is what triggers court action. A judge cannot act on what you tell them happened. They act on what you can prove happened.
Eye Spy investigators will follow, observe, and document violations as they occur, then provide your attorney with a full report and video evidence ready for court submission.

Can you find out who is living with or spending time around my child?

Do I need an attorney before hiring Eye Spy for a custody case?
No. You can hire Eye Spy directly without an attorney. Many clients come to us first, then bring the evidence we gather to their attorney to build or strengthen their case. If you already have an attorney, we are happy to coordinate with them directly.
