Infidelity / Divorce / Child Custody

Infidelity Courts are usually harsh toward clients who behave dishonestly. Providing proof of deceitful behavior such as infidelity can help people achieve a more positive divorce settlement. We have extensive experience in investigating hidden assets, which are not easily identified or located and are frequently placed in the hands of a third party. We have located hidden assets in offshore bank accounts, the hands of family members, within the control of lovers, in corporate shells, and in corporations established in states or nations that provide for nominee ownership.
