Child Custody Cases
If you ever have to fight for custody of your children, it will likely be one of the most trying, stressful, and important times in your life. Even though it might be clear to you and those around you that your child is better off with you, proving that in a court of law is another matter entirely. If you have the misfortune of your children having a parent that isn’t just a bad parent, but dangerous, it is even more pertinent that you are able to prove, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the other parent is unfit and should have no rights. We can help you do this.
Evidence That Can Be Used In Court
Digital evidence being admitted into court cases - both civil and criminal - is becoming more and more commonplace. So much of our lives are documented on the digital devices we use, without us even being aware, that these devices are a treasure trove of information that can be used to make an undeniable case in court.
But is very important to understand what is and isn’t useful in your custody case. We can’t give you legal advice - that is best left up to your lawyer - but we can give you some ideas of what sort of evidence might be gathered from your digital devices. As one divorce law website said, “For your evidence to be deemed admissible by the Family Courts, it must be material and relevant.”
There is a wide variety of evidence that you can gather, but it is very important that you only gather evidence that is relevant to the custody case itself. This includes things that help show, define or support things like: a parent’s active involvement, current physical custody schedule, living situation and standards, willingness to co-parent, mental or emotional instability, domestic violence, substance abuse, and neglect. This evidence can be in the form of:
- Emails
- Text messages
- Internet usage history
- Voicemails
- Letters
- Photographs
- Videos
- Audio recordings
- Schedules
- Records (financial, medical, school, police reports, etc)
Often this type of evidence is present on your phone, email, or computer. While you might be aware it’s there, gathering this evidence to properly submit to the court is a daunting task. Don’t worry, we can help.
Getting the Evidence You Need
There is more than one benefit to having a digital forensic team gather your evidence for you. At Digital Forensics Corporation, our digital forensic investigators are trained to find both evidence you know is there, and evidence you didn’t know was there. We have a proven track record for providing evidence that the courts will admit, and can help you verify that files are authentic.
Uncover Deleted Evidence
While a lot of evidence may be present on a device that you and your ex shared, there is often a lot more evidence on the device that has been deleted. Our digital forensic investigators can find that evidence and bring it to light.
Authentic Data Verified By A 3rd Party
Even though you are paying us, we are always an impartial 3rd party. If the evidence is there, we will help you find it. But if the evidence is not there, we will not fabricate it for you. Our methods are forensically sound and verifiable, meaning that if your ex wants to hire his own expert to show that what we’ve found isn’t true, he or she just will be wasting money. All of our findings are put into a court accepted format, which translates into a report that you can provide the judge. This makes submitting digital evidence quick, easy, and sure to pass all inspections it’s put through.
Gathering New Evidence
If your digital devices don’t have the evidence you need, but you know that the other parent is a danger to your child(ren), we may be able to help you gather the evidence you need. We offer monitoring services for your digital devices that can help you capture evidence of what a device is used for, and in some cases what is going on around a device, when you’re not there.
Litigation Forensic Services
This type of investigation is suitable for uncovering evidence that will be used in court or for other legal purposes. Digital

Monitoring
Always be sure you seek the counsel of a lawyer before undertaking or contracting any monitoring actions. The details of the law are best interpreted by a lawyer, and only a lawyer can help you determine if an action you’d like to take is legal. Digital Forensics Corporation does not assume any responsibility if you misrepresent yourself to us to obtain services, and you are required to verify that you are the owner of the device being monitored and have the right to monitor the device by law. See our legal disclaimer for more information.
