Installment 2: How a Private Investigator Can Help During Divorce
In divorce matters, information matters. Sometimes the challenge is not only deciding how to address support, custody, or equitable distribution, but first locating the person, account, asset, or evidence needed to move the case forward. When a party cannot be found, financial disclosures seem incomplete, or you have concerns about hidden accounts or assets, a licensed private investigator can provide practical assistance that supports your legal strategy.
From the family law attorney’s perspective, an investigator can help gather information that may be difficult for a client to obtain on their own. This may include locating a spouse or other necessary party for service of process, identifying possible addresses or employment information, searching for business interests or hidden assets, reviewing public records, or helping the legal team determine whether further discovery may be needed. The goal is not to create conflict; it is to make sure decisions are based on reliable information and that the case can proceed with the facts available.
In this installment, I am joined by Danny Bendas, the Owner of Bravo 5 Investigative and Protective Services, LLC, which assists clients and attorneys with investigative needs that may arise during divorce and family law matters. His background as an ex-military and a retired police officer uniquely equips him to handle these issues the right way.
“In many cases, the first step is helping the client and attorney understand what information is missing, where to look for it, and how to document it properly. These issues must always be handled carefully and lawfully, or any information obtained may not be admissible in Court.” - Danny
In addition to locating parties, accounts, and assets, Bravo 5 can assist in searching homes, vehicles, and electronic devices for tracking or listening technology when safety, privacy, or unauthorized surveillance concerns are present.
Clients may want to discuss using an investigator with their attorney when their spouse is difficult to locate, there are concerns about undisclosed accounts or assets, business or employment information is unclear, or if they believe they are being monitored or tracked by their spouse.
A private investigator does not replace legal advice, financial analysis, or court-ordered discovery. But in the right case, investigative support can help clarify unknowns, protect client safety and privacy, and give the legal team a stronger factual foundation for decision-making. When information is missing, adding a timely and professional Investigator to your team may help move your case from suspicion and uncertainty to a clear path forward.
