You’ve Got Legal Support. Now You Need Proof.

You’ve hired a family law attorney because something’s not right, and you want to protect your child. But your word alone won’t always be enough. Arizona courts need clear, documented evidence to make changes to custody, enforce court orders, or address dangerous behavior.

Urban Spy works with parents who already have attorneys and need real-world support gathering proof. We provide court-admissible surveillance, thorough documentation, and discreet investigative support to back up your legal case.

The Problem: You Suspect It But You Can’t See It

You might feel something’s off. Missed custody exchanges. Excuses about new partners. Suspicious behavior during parenting time. But unless someone is there to observe and record it, these concerns can’t always be proven in court. That’s where we come in.

How Urban Spy Helps Parents Build a Stronger Legal Case

We work in tandem with your legal team to gather the facts. Our services are designed to uncover what’s really happening – quietly, legally, and without alerting anyone.

✅ What We Document

  • Custody Order Violations: Missed exchanges, prohibited overnight guests, or out-of-boundary travel.
  • Substance Abuse or Neglect: Drinking or drug use during parenting time, children left alone or with questionable supervision.
  • Unsafe Environments: Documented proof of dangerous visitors, chaotic households, or hazardous conditions.

✅ Who We Investigate

  • New Partners or Roommates: Full background checks that include criminal records, restraining orders, or financial red flags.
  • Third-Party Witnesses: Neighbors, school staff, former caregivers – anyone with relevant insight into your child’s other home life.

✅ What You Receive

  • Court-Ready Reports: Time-stamped photos, videos, written summaries; ready for your attorney to submit.
  • Expert Testimony: Our investigators can appear in court to explain what they saw and how they documented it.

What Arizona Judges Look For in Custody Cases

You and your lawyer may already know what’s happening. But judges need to see it in black and white. Here’s the type of evidence that makes a difference:

1. Documented Communication is King

Records of texts and emails can reveal important patterns: refusal to cooperate, failure to respond about logistics, or harassment. We help gather and organize these records to support your narrative.

2. Child’s Well-being: School & Medical Records

Attendance issues, sudden drops in grades, or missed medical appointments all speak volumes. We supplement your child’s records with observations from school pickups, appointments, or routine life moments.

3. Proving a Stable Home Environment

Photos and video showing clean, consistent, child-friendly conditions are powerful. If the other parent’s home tells a different story (clutter, hazards, instability) we document that too.

4. Third-Party Testimony & Evaluations

Teachers and neighbors may have seen or heard things that confirm your concerns. We locate and interview them when appropriate, and connect you with psychologists for custody evaluations if needed.

5. Financial Stability & Capacity to Provide

We can help uncover hidden employment, gambling habits, or signs of instability. If your co-parent says they’re working or financially stable, but the evidence says otherwise – we make that clear.

6. Addressing Serious Safety Concerns

Prior CPS involvement? Restraining orders? Domestic violence? We verify records and collect corroborating details. Your attorney will have what they need to press the issue in court.
