Why Parents and Attorneys Trust Bonnington PI in Custody Disputes

Custody disputes can quickly become a matter of conflicting stories and unclear evidence. Family courts, while well-meaning, are often too overwhelmed to verify every claim or concern. That’s where we step in—as your licensed, professional private investigation team focused on protecting children’s best interests.

We work closely with parents, family members, attorneys, and guardians who need factual, court-admissible evidence that can support (or challenge) a custody case.

Whether you're:

Seeking to gain or modify custody
Concerned about your child’s safety with a co-parent
Dealing with false accusations
Preparing for a hearing in Sacramento Family Court or a Northern CA jurisdiction

Bonnington PI has the expertise, discretion, and professionalism to support your case.

What Our Child Custody Investigations Cover

We design each investigation based on the details of your unique case. Using legal and ethical methods, we gather compelling documentation, video evidence, and credible insights that can stand up in court.

Living Conditions and Child Safety

We assess the overall living environment—including cleanliness, supervision, school attendance, and whether the household presents any risks to the child’s wellbeing.

Associates and Influences

Who is around your child when they’re not with you? We investigate caregivers, roommates, romantic partners, and anyone your child may be exposed to—screening for criminal records or patterns of risky behavior.

Illicit or Dangerous Behavior

From drug or alcohol use to reckless driving with a child present, we discreetly document behaviors that could jeopardize your child’s physical and emotional safety.

Surveillance and GPS Monitoring

Where legally permitted, we use GPS tracking and covert surveillance to monitor your child’s transitions, verify where the co-parent resides, and capture interactions that raise concern.

False Information Submitted to the Court

We frequently investigate cases where one parent has provided false employment, residency, or lifestyle information to manipulate court outcomes. Our team uncovers the truth, allowing you to present a fact-based case.

Why It Matters—Court-Admissible Evidence That Tells the Full Story

When it comes to child custody decisions, evidence is everything. Judges want to rule in the best interest of the child—but without solid proof, they may rely on statements that don’t tell the full story.

That’s why our reports include:

Time-stamped photo and video evidence
Clear and objective language
Organized summaries of surveillance and activity logs
Verified data gathered legally and ethically

Our findings can strengthen your legal case, support your attorney's argument, and most importantly—help ensure your child is placed in a safe, stable, and nurturing environment.
