Should I hire a Private Investigator to follow my Husband/Wife?

It seems like every person I talk to, as soon as I tell them what I do for a living, their immediate response turns to referencing cheating cases. They will reference the show “Cheaters” and their eyes light up with the excitement of catching people’s wives and husbands “in the act.” I mean, c’mon, we can all admit to reveling in the drama of fists flying and tears flowing during the “Confrontation.”

The truth is, there is a lot more to my career than catching spouses partaking in indiscretions. In fact, 80% of cases that I work are in reference to custody issues. As a Private Investigator, i have always tried to steer away from working cheating spouse cases. Why? Because there is a whole different level of emotions that are involved with a case of that nature than any other case I have worked.

When I get a phone call from a client who is eager to obtain evidence of their spouse cheating, the conversations is always the same. There is always hesitation. It’s typically their first time ever hiring a P.I. and they are worried about being caught. They don’t want to be misconstrued as THAT person. The person who resorts to “stalking” their partner. Because we all know that once you start looking into your spouses phone and following him/her around, you have officially reached the level of desperation and what some would call “psycho” status.

But let’s be real for a second here. How many people have wasted years of their lives with the wrong person. How many times have you, yourself, looked back and thought, “I wish I had known this or I wish I had known that.” You can’t put a price on the value of time. Typically by the time someone calls me, they have already spent years with their significant other. Typically its during a time that they are rounding a corner and considering taking the next step in a relationship. Doubt and fear will always exist in any relationship regardless of what the relationship has endured. However, the red flags are what really matters. And let’s face it, if you have instincts that something is going on, you certainly won’t be getting the answers that you need from him.

Bottom line: You have a right to know. It is your right to pursue the truth and get the answers you need in order to make an educated decision to choose your own life path. Hiring a private investigator will give you the closure that you need and deserve.
