I know what you're saying, in a relationship if you have those doubts it's probably a waste, unless incontrovertible evidence is to your advantage for $ or custody.

 

But, it's not always about an actual relationship.  Sometimes someone is doing something to you, but you don't who.  You can't put a stop to it unless you know who it is.


 

Many states are no fault, anyways.

It seems you are speaking of divorce situations, but that is not what I'm speaking of.  There are many other reasons one might need PI services.

Sometimes you know the answer but legally you may need to have "proof" if you are to go that route. The judge won't take just your firm belief that something is as you say. So, you gotta have serveillence records  to plead you case...

My daughter hired one a few years ago.  Her ex husband kept quitting jobs and moving around and would not pay child support.  When she found out where he was working she garnished his check.  The PI found him every time he moved.

My son is in a messy custody dispute and his former girlfriend accused him of child abuse (battering, bruising).  It wasn't so as soon and kids lived with us every other two weeks he had them.  It went to trial, lawyer suggested we hire a PI for one day ($1500).  Best money we ever spent (his research proved her a total liar with a live-in felon thug b.f.).  We won!
