A private investigator can be helpful if you suspect your spouse or significant other of infidelity, but this discreet professional can also be useful, to you, shortly after your enter a relationship. If you've started to date someone and a few red flags have gone off, it's often a good idea to ask the person pointed questions. You can then decide whether you believe him or her. Should you struggle to be this direct, hiring a private investigator can help to reveal things about this person that can make you decide whether you should maintain the relationship or leave it. Here are some examples.
Presence Of A Family
Some people have a family but continue to date, and may tell their partners that they're single. It's possible that you've gotten a suspicion that the person you're dating may have a spouse and children. For example, if you've dated for a while, but he or she never invites you over, this might be just one sign that something is amiss. A private investigator can conduct surveillance on the person to determine if your suspicions are indeed correct and then share photographic and video evidence with you.
Criminal Activities
Few people like the idea of getting involved with someone who is breaking the law, but you might have picked up on an indicator or two that your new significant other could be involved in some type of criminal activity. For example, maybe you've seen the person with new and expensive items daily, but he or she doesn't appear to have a high-paying job. Such a clue could lead you to believe that this person is perhaps dealing in stolen property. Rather than acting on your assumptions, you might hire a private investigator to follow your significant other, for a few days, to see if he or she is indeed breaking the law.
Alternate Identity
Occasionally, unscrupulous individuals will give aliases to those they're dating. There are many reasons that someone might choose to do so, but this idea is dishonest. It's possible that you've seen a document belonging to your significant other that lists a different name, or perhaps that the person has said something that has led you to believe that he or she is using an alternate identity with you. In addition to physical surveillance, private investigators can also run online background checks on people to see if your suspicion is correct.
Odd, preemptive, or unnecessary though it may seem, hiring a professional in the field of private investigation may be the best, safest option, for you.
