You don’t have to be married for infidelity to matter. Whether you’re married, engaged, or just dating someone you have real doubts about, Eye Spy Detective Agency can find out the truth – and your case is protected by one of the strongest confidentiality laws of any profession in Michigan. Call (888) 393-7799 to discuss your situation; for the surveillance methods and evidence we provide, see our Cheating Spouse Investigations page.
Your Case Is Legally Privileged
Michigan’s Professional Investigator Licensure Act (MCL 338.840) gives licensed private investigators a statutory duty of confidentiality that courts have treated as a genuine privilege – not just a professional courtesy. This protection has been upheld in Michigan case law, including In re Investigation of Death of White, 256 Mich. App. 39 (2003).
In practical terms: what you tell us, and what we find during your investigation, is protected even from a subpoena or court order in most circumstances. This is unusual – many states offer no such protection, and a private investigator’s files in states like Texas, Florida, Illinois, or California can typically be compelled by a valid subpoena. Michigan is different, and Eye Spy operates strictly within that protection.
Infidelity and Michigan Divorce
Michigan is a no-fault divorce state, which means a spouse’s infidelity isn’t required to end a marriage and doesn’t automatically determine the outcome of a case. But that doesn’t mean it’s irrelevant. Judges in Michigan divorce cases routinely consider evidence of a spouse’s conduct – including infidelity – when it relates to spousal support, child custody, or parenting time decisions, particularly if the affair affected finances or a child’s wellbeing.
If you’re contemplating divorce, talk to your attorney about how documented infidelity could affect your specific case before deciding what evidence you need. We also cover this in more detail in our blog post, Can You Use PI Evidence in Divorce in Michigan?
You Don’t Have to Be Married
A lot of people assume infidelity investigations are only for married couples. They’re not. If you’re engaged, seriously dating, or even just getting to know someone and something feels off, an investigation can confirm what’s actually happening before you’re more invested – financially, emotionally, or otherwise.
Whatever your relationship status, the same confidentiality protections apply, and the same discretion guides how we work your case.
What to Expect
Eye Spy Detective Agency has handled infidelity investigations across Michigan for over 30 years. Every case is confidential by law, and we’ll walk you through what evidence is realistic to obtain before any work begins.
