A private investigator, private detective, is licensed to gather private information, and conduct surveillance.
Where one, or both, parties have taken out a DV order, but needs evidence to show that the state of things is different to what is alleged, gathering the information becomes problematic. The person cannot do it themselves, without breaching the order. The police must be the first point of contact when you are the victim of domestic violence. the issue is that, sometimes, the victim will not act, and others must gather evidence.
They can't send friends to do it because it may be stalking; they also aren't set up to gather evidence and produce it in a way acceptable to a court, and there is a high risk of it simply making the situation worse.
A licensed private investigator is there to gather evidence for court purposes, to investigate for matters such as a person claiming to be raising children alone, whilst actually in a relationship, or earning income, and not reporting it to the court. We are not there to stalk on behalf of a partner, there must be a basis to the investigation.
This is where the private investigator, and legally conducted surveillance, comes into it. The private investigator surveillance investigation is there to record what is occurring, because, in court, the truth is just an allegation, without supporting evidence.
For some the need the evidence, even though they are the victim, because they have been the victim of coercion, of a manipulative partner, a narcissistic relationship which has robbed them of power, control. We recommend you start a diary, and created a new, free, email address, a Yahoo or Gmail, not associated with your name, this is for your personal security. You suspect, we investigate.
Having said that private investigator surveillance is legal, and people have the right to gather evidence for court action, including to mount a defence, or to prove that their claim for access or custody is legitimate, we will not accept matters where it appears the intention is illegitimate.
You need to be honest, when hiring an investigator. Tell them the whole situation, if there is a court order ensure it does not forbid your actions (they usually don't). Explain what your objective is, give us the relevant background, including any allegations against you, as well as the ones against them.
We live in a time where it is presumed by many that the woman is always the victim. In some cases they are. For some clients this creates a further level of problems, because it is not always true. Do not expose yourself to unnecessary risk.
This is an area where we are dealing with emotion, as well as facts. Court needs fact, private investigations is about gathering evidence, for use in court. Private investigator surveillance is about gathering evidence of what is now occurring, in a manner that provides the court with a story line (the surveillance journal) and supporting footage.
