Child Custody Investigations in Connecticut
When concerns arise about a child’s care, supervision, safety, or living conditions, reliable information matters. Eichler Investigative Services conducts discreet, objective investigations that help clients and their attorneys better understand what is occurring outside the courtroom.

Circumstances for Investigative Consideration
We assist when documentation is needed regarding specific areas of concern:
- Evidence of unsafe living conditions.
- Concerns regarding supervision or welfare.
- Suspicion of substance use during parenting periods.
- Allegations of visitation schedule violations.
- Contact with restricted or unauthorized persons.
- Discrepancies in reported lifestyles or daily routines.
- Any observable conduct impacting the child's environment.
Each case involves a customized approach. We develop investigative strategies based on your specific requirements, legal parameters, and the guidance of your legal team.
Observable Facts through Surveillance
Our lawful surveillance efforts focus on documenting public activity, such as:
- General welfare and supervision.
- Documentation of transportation safety.
- Identification of individuals present.
- Verification of daily activities and locations.
- Adherence to established schedules.
- Conduct visible from public observation points.
Surveillance reports document what is witnessed firsthand. We do not determine the appropriate custody arrangement, diagnose behavior or substance abuse, or offer opinions on legal outcomes or a parent's ultimate parenting ability.
