A child custody or access dispute is often seen as being about 'rights', the rights of the mother, the rights of the father, the rights of the children, the rights of the grand parents. In reality the Federal Magistrates Court, the Federal Circuit Court, The Family Law Court, is only concerned about what is in the best interest of the child or children, and the requirements of legislation. The objective is to act in the best interest of the children, to provide them a safe environment, to avoid exposing them to physical or mental harm, or domestic violence.

The Family Court is a place where shades of grey exist, as anything raised by one side of an action is simply an allegation, even if true, until it is proved. The Court is aware that they are dealing with emotional issues. The role of the private investigator is to gather the evidence to support or prove an allegations, or provide evidence that it is incorrect. Trying to disprove something that is false is harder, generally, than finding evidence to support something that is true.

Private investigator surveillance is a large part of the evidence gathering for a child custody dispute. It is the most unintrusive method of gathering information, when done correctly. The existence of surveillance should only be revealed after sufficient evidence has been obtained to support a position, and surveillance should never be used as a threat. It is preferable to support surveillance with factual investigations.

Factual investigation is about talking to people, gathering information, and affidavits, relating to the stated objective of the action.

Private investigator research is about searching for the information, the evidence, sought by a client. We use private and public indices, social media and open source information, combined with years of experience to search for the information. This is used to find witnesses who have moved, to look at a background, or search for a criminal history. We have Brisbane private investigator operatives with many years of experience in research.

A child custody dispute is related to a relationship breakdown, or divorce, and can often be related to a new relationship of one partner upsetting the balance, or other actions such as a property settlement, child support payments, or a partner falling back into old habits.
