On May 29, 2015, I entered into a contract with Tracey Leonard, Louisville, Kentucky, Private Investigator. Mr. Leonard was to provide information and observations of any possible illegal/drug related activities occurring with a family member residing in Louisville, Ky. Mr. Leonard agreed to perform 10 hours of surveillance and provide a written report of all and any observations detailed above. I requested that nothing be done mornings or early afternoon as there are no gainful activities that occur with person in question during those times. Person does not work, is not gainfully employed and appears to move around some in later hours. Mr. Leonard sent surveillance to be done both early morning and early afternoon only during a heavy rainstorm and reported no activity as I outlined above. He indicated he would be back in the field doing observations as we indicated/contracted during later parts of the day as well as interviews with other residents and be back to me with a report as of 8/15/2015. After many many calls as well as emails, Mr. Leonard has not given me any kind of report of surveillance. I don't know if he failed to do the surveillance or neglected to complete or do the report. He indicated observations of illegal activities but has explained absolutely nothing and refuses to answer calls or emails. I would like him to complete the work as contracted or refund payment. ...read more

How can I prepare myself for a custody battle? Cathy's Question: My husband and I are going through a nasty divorce. We have 2 small children and he wants full custody of them. He has never taken them to the doctor, stayed home from work when they are sick, etc. I also have suspicions that his live in girlfriend is doing drugs in the home. Now he is lying to the court system trying to say that I am unfit. I am so scared that they will give him the kids. I know that this would not be in the best interest for them. What can I do? Richard’s Answer: I am not an attorney, for legal advice please seek an attorney and discuss your specifics with him or her. The following is posted for discussion purposes only. If you are facing a possible custody battle, you need to realize that the judge will consider the best interest of the child above all the other issues. You can find out the specific factors considered by looking up the child custody laws for your state. Here are some things to get to work on: ·Getting an attorney is the first step. ·Start to keep a calendar and a journal documenting everything you do. Try to the best of your recollection to recreate the past six months or year, writing down everything you’ve done and everything he’s done. ·You need to be prepared to show the court that you are the primary caretaker of the children and that you are able to parent on your own. ·Make a list of all the things you do for your son EACH day as well as all the things you purchase or pay for on behalf of you son. This includes daycare, food, rent, electricity, etc. have bills and or receipts to back your claim. ·Prepare a photo album of photos of you with your children or of them happy in your care. Anything you have prepared such as journals, photos or log may and should be admissible in court. ·Other documents such as school records or bank statements may need to be authenticated, in that case you will need to talk to the clerk or your attorney ASAP about subpoenas. ·Having a place to live and a job are important. ·Making arrangements for school and child care are also important. ·Demonstrate that you have community ties through church, neighborhood, friends, etc. ·Be prepared to show why his is not qualified to have custody of the children. ·Find people who will testify about problems with his parenting and people who will testify about your skills as a parent. ·Get an attorney and seek their advice! Of course, if you have suspicions of harmful or potentially destructive parental behavior by him or his live in girlfriend, you need toacquire proofin order to supply this information to your attorney and ultimately to the court. Keep in mind that the final decision always rests in the Judge’s hands and they have a considerable amount of latitude when it comes to making their final judgment. ...read more

I Think My Spouse is Cheating, Should I hire a Private Investigator?As a general rule, it is always wise to talk directly to a spouse about issues and concerns as they arise. Talking to a spouse is the most effective way of resolving problems in an intimate relationship.This general rule, however, does not apply when it comes to concerns about infidelity. Talking to a spouse, who is already cheating, only makes it more difficult to actually discover the truth (see,how to catch a cheating spouse).And while there are many options available when it comes to catching a husband or wife (see,detecting infidelity), hiring a private investigator is by far the most effective way of doing so.What are the benefits of hiring a Private Investigator?Private investigators are licensed by the state to gather information and engage in surveillance. Private investigators understand what is permitted under state law. If the potential for legal proceedings exists (e.g., divorce, child custody, alimony, etc.), hiring a private investigator can help minimize your risk. Many people have obtained useful information about a spouse on their own, but were unable to use the information because of how it was obtained. Not only does hiring a private investigator help minimize the risk of information being thrown out during legal procedures, but in most cases PIs are allowed to testify on your behalf. And if negative information about your spouse is going to come out, it is usually beneficial to have a third party present the information - it will seem less biased and more credible.Private Investigators are also better at collecting information because of their training, experience, and their lack of emotional involvement. Many people who try to catch a cheating spouse on their own, have a difficult time knowing what to look for or they become too upset while the process unfolds. We have heard from many people who have wasted months of their time trying to figure out if their spouse is cheating, but were unable to do so because they lack the investigative skills and tools which are needed. And people also tend to become too emotionally volatile when investigating their own spouse. People have a difficult time NOT confronting their spouse before they discover the full extent of the betrayal that occurred. Professional investigators simply have the added advantage of knowing how to investigate a spouse in a more objective manner.What are the disadvantages of hiring a Private Investigator?A major consideration when hiring a PI is the cost involved. Depending on where you live, hiring a PI can easily run into the thousands of dollars. And while there are always less expensive options available, given potential consequences involved, the additional expense may be worth every penny.Other considerations to take into account:Before you hire a PI, it is always wise to discuss the matter with your personal attorney (or at least talk to an attorney if you don̢۪t have one). Given the potential legal issues that are inherent in any marital dispute, having sound legal advice can help limit your exposure.
