Introduction from a PI

Hi all,

As a divorced guy in my late 30's I can share a little empathy with some members. It can be a very stressful and trying time but you can come out the other end and survive.

I was telephoned today by one of your members about surveillance on a partner in a divorce and co-habitation case. My intention here is not to drum up trade so I will not be identifing my business. If you need me you will find me.

I will be happy to advise on instructing a private investigator and what information you will need before you appoint one. Whether that be for traditional surveillance or the service of documents during the process or anything in between. Many of our instructions come direct from solicitors and some come from the parties themselves.

A Private Investigator is often not the answer to your problem and appointing one on a whim can be costly. Apparently 49% of Divorces now involve a PI at some stage. According to a recent study by Grant Thornton Accountants.

The call (and invitation to join this forum) today from a lady who is at the end of her tether. We have spoken at length today and I have advised her to confirm with her solicitor what she actually wants to prove her case.

One of the biggest mistakes that can be made when appoining a PI (I hate that term) is not to have discussed matters with your solicitor. Yes we can get the evidence (subject to it actually happening) but is it the evidence your solicitor needs in order to fight your case? They often can be two different things entirely.

Hi Provo,

Very interesting post and thank you for bringing that important fact to the attention of many that information for its own sake is not of help; in fact it could make matters worse.

Any quite often does. Unfortunately in some cases it often gets much worse before it gets better. In other cases you are better off not knowing anymore than you do already.
