Child Custody Investigations in Oklahoma FAQs

Under Oklahoma law, private investigators in Edmond at a private investigation agency in Norman at are barred from working on a contingency basis for child custody cases and other private investigations. Why? Well, this is because they are supposed to be an unbiased, neutral party to properly investigate a case.

By working on an hourly basis, a specialist remains unbiased during Oklahoma child custody investigations and receives payment from her/his/their client no matter what the outcome of this turns out to be. If a private detective conducts child custody investigations in Moore on a contingency basis, then she/he/they become(s) biased and for monetary reasons prefers an outcome favorable to the client and the client’s judgment.

When this happens, the weight and credibility of an investigator in Altus evidence becomes greatly diminished and less valuable. Who can now trust that our specialist in The Village is presenting fair and accurate evidence?

For these reasons, our private investigator in Warr Acres, Yukon, should take great care to only accept child custody investigations in Mustang or any other in Tulsa on a contingency basis. By keeping an hourly rate and mileage as her/his/their standard, a he in Enid can remain neutral and provide the greatest benefits for her/his/their clients, society, and the profession of private investigations in McAlester.

No, the State of Oklahoma expressly requires anyone engaging in child custody investigations to first become licensed as an investigator in Guthrie. Anyone acting as a child custody private detective or who is otherwise performing such jobs without a license is violating the law.

In terms of admissibility in courts, this investigation evidence collected by persons who are not private investigators in Piedmont  is often considered inadmissible. Therefore, it is so important for parents, grandparents, and legal guardians to hire a child custody investigator in Yukon from a reputable company like us in Mustang for all child custody private investigations. Otherwise, grandparents, parents, and legal guardians risk putting their entire court case into legal jeopardy.

He tries to ensure that most or all of these photographs and videos have date, time, and location stamps on them. In addition, for quality purposes, Dr. Makayla Keefe tries to ensure that her licensed child custody private detectives from her private investigation agency in Mustang, OK who are conducting also take pictures and photographs about every fifteen (15) minutes, to prove that they were there on-site conducting the inquiry.

Our clients most often have our private investigators conduct surveillance for the following reasons:

• To Prove That One Parent, Grandparent, or Legal Guardian is Having Prohibited Overnight Stays With a Romantic Partner – With the Child Present – When the Child Custody Agreement Prohibits Such Activity
• To Show That he/she is Bringing Dangerous Individuals (i.e., Registered Sex Offenders, Persons Convicted of Violent Felonious Crimes, Etc.) Around the Kid or Kids
• To Demonstrate That He’She is Engaging in Dangerous Activity or Any Behavior That Would Make Her/Him/Them Unfit to Have Custody (i.e., Prostitution, Drugs, Criminal Activity, Etc.)
• To Show That a Person Who Has Custody of a Child at Any Given Time Who is Required to Provide the Other Parent, Grandparent, or Legal Guardian Fails to do so and Leaves the Kid(s) With Someone Else Instead
• To Help Locate a Mother/Father/Guardian for Child Support Purposes
• To Help Locate a Legal Guardian Who Only Had Joint Custody of a Kid(s) or Whom Did Not Have Any Legal Custody of a Child or Kids, and Who Absconded From the Area With the Child or Children

Would it not be better to know about the criminal history of the person in advance? Dr. Makayla Keefe and her licensed staff sure think so.

Nationwide Skip Tracing Services:

Our child case professionals are very adept at utilizing criminal background checks, criminal background investigations, and nationwide skip tracing for such cases. In this instance, skip tracing services can help locate the residence and work addresses where a parent, grandparent, or legal guardian, our client wishes to pursue child support payments against lives and/or works, or to locate an individual who has taken off to another city or state with the children without permission.

Skip tracing services work much the same way that nationwide criminal background checks do, but they focus more on locating the person of interest (POI) than learning about her/his/their criminal background. Indeed, unless the POI has moved recently, is in jail, resides in a mental health facility, has fled the country, or has died, our  investigators can often locate her/him/them.

Once located, our agent can also conduct discreet surveillance or use a ruse such as a fake political poll, to confirm that the POI resides, there. They can also run license plates/tags on any plates at the residence or place of business the skip trace might show as the current home and/or work address(es).

Running License Plates:

Some of our clients need them  to run license plates, as part of child custody investigations in Broken Arrow, OK. By doing so, he can help determine the identity of the owners of the vehicles. This comes in especially handy, when the identities of romantic partners and other persons who are around the children are unknown, or if a client wishes to discreetly confirm the identity of the individual who lives at a residence or works at a place of business that the nationwide skip trace says she/he/they does/do.

The cost to run license plates as part of a child custody investigation is relatively inexpensive, and the turnaround time on receiving the information back is quick. Therefore, so many of our  clients request that our private detectives run  them as part of their investigations in OKC.

Clients who ask for assistance from our trained agents such serious investigations are typically parents, grandparents, and/or legal guardians of children or grandchildren who are experiencing family entropy concomitant with toxicity.

An Oklahoma child custody private detective at a private detective agency in Oklahoma is someone licensed by the State of Oklahoma to conduct child custody investigations in Oklahoma. Clients usually seek out the services of a licensed Oklahoma City, OK child custody private detective at our private investigation agency in Guthrie, Oklahoma for Oklahoma child custody investigations, whenever a dispute arises between the parents and/or other legal guardians involved in the raising of a child or children.

Grandparents do not have a great deal of child custody rights. As the Oklahoma Bar Association will attest, grandparents often do not have much say over their grandchildren. Indeed, this is how it should be in most situations because they themselves have already had the chance to raise their own children, and now it is their grown children’s chance to raise their kids however they deem fit. Of course, there are always exceptions to this when it comes to children.

Sometimes, as noted in a question above, the kids’ parents are simply not taking suitable care of their children or are otherwise unable to do so, and they wish to step in and provide whatever care, support, and love their grandchildren need. Perhaps it is also the case that the grandparents are just narcissists who respect no one’s boundaries but their own and care only about themselves, and they wish to put the child(ren) in the middle of a big legal court battle to cause chaos, entropy, and toxicity to be controlling, vindictive, and hateful.

Whatever the case, agents come in especially handy for gathering information and other evidence during their child custody private investigations. For an hourly rate and only when the clients’ motives are moral, ethical and legally grounded, a child custody private investigator can provide crucial evidence and even proffer courtroom testimony, serving as an expert witness on the stand before a judge and/or jury.
