Birth Parent or Adopted Child Locates

“Birth parent or Adopted Child Search. This is one of the most poignant and complex of all [locating] searches, primarily because of antiquated laws on official resistance which denies you, an adult adoptee, the privilege of searching your own birth records. If you are and adult adoptee or a birth parent of a relinquished child, you probably have a psychological ‘need to know’….

We treat your pre-marital investigation seriously, discretely and confidentially.

Child Custody and Visitation Investigation

“Child custody and visitation is usually the most crucial issue in a divorce [or custody dispute]. In determining the custody of a minor…the court is guided by one standard – the best interest of the child. If you have reason to believe it is not in the best interest of your child to be in the custody of your spouse or to visit your spouse, we will find out if your belief can be supported with evidence. Though it is important, normally, that each parent remain a strong part of a child’s life, it is equally important that your child not be in an unhealthy environment. In a divorce [or custody dispute], it is up to the courts to decide what constitutes and unhealthy environment. We can help you in your efforts to prove your case, documenting the evidence to support your claim”
