Child Support Investigations

Is your child being deprived of a court-mandated child support payment? Do you believe that the current support amount wasn’t fairly calculated due to fraud? Is the other parent lying about his or her employment status, assets, quality of life? Or perhaps there are cohabitation issues. Brener Investigations Group’s private investigator can assist you in these difficult and stressful times. We are experienced in handling child support investigations, where income and employment verifications are needed.

Our private investigators have years of experience handling these complex investigations. We use a multi-step approach to collect evidence for you to present to the court. The evidence we collect for you leaves no doubt in the court’s eyes and often leads to modifications to the child support order. We also offer our expert court testimony to stand behind the facts that we collect on your behalf.

Often the other parent claims he or she is unemployed, or under-reports their income. In many cases, our private investigators confirm through employment verification that the other parent does work and disguises income through their business. Then they under-report their income or state they only worked minimal hours. Through surveillance, we can obtain evidence of current employment status.

What are Child Support Investigations?

Child support investigations are investigations conducted to determine the financial ability of a parent or guardian to pay child support. The investigation is usually conducted by the government agency responsible for enforcing child support orders, such as the state’s Child Support Enforcement Agency (CSEA) or Department of Human Services (DHS) . These investigations are done in cases where the non-custodial parent is not paying the child support that was ordered by the court or if there is a suspicion of the non-custodial parent’s income not being reported correctly.

The purpose of a child support investigation is to determine the income and assets of the non-custodial parent so that a fair child support order can be established or modified. The investigation may include:

Interviews: The investigator may interview the non-custodial parent, their employer or their business associates to gather information about their income and assets.
Financial records: The investigator may request financial records such as tax returns, bank statements, and pay stubs to determine the non-custodial parent’s income.
Surveillance: The investigator may conduct surveillance on the non-custodial parent to observe their lifestyle and habits in order to determine if they have any assets that are not being reported.
Database search: The investigator may use specialized databases to gather information about the non-custodial parent’s assets, such as property, vehicles, and boats.

The duration of a child support investigation can vary depending on the complexity of the case and the availability of information. It is important to work with a professional who have the experience and resources to conduct an effective and efficient investigation, and also to comply with the laws and regulations of the jurisdiction where the investigation is taking place.
