Myrtle Beach Private Investigative Services, LLC Provides Child Custody Investigations

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina based Myrtle Beach Private Investigative Services, LLC is pleased to inform the local community that they carry out child custody investigations. The company is a full-service investigative company licensed by the State of South Carolina.

Rob Mason, a retired Chief of Police and Founder of Myrtle Beach Private Investigative Services, LLC, says, “There is absolutely no doubt that children are the most valuable parts of our lives. Their safety and welfare should be the primary concern to both parents. Sadly, if the parents are going through a divorce, the problem of child custody rears its ugly head and brings with it a series of complicated questions like: what if one of the custodial parents is not a suitable caregiver? Are they supporting the child financially or are they claiming no money or unemployment? Are they cohabitating with a new partner against a court or divorce agreement while another parent is paying alimony? Are they following the custody agreement at all? Is the lifestyle or environment of one of the parents inappropriate for the child in question?”

Mason continues, “These are all hard questions to ask, but they must be asked because such a discovery may be grounds to reduce or eliminate the alimony payment, change the terms of visitation, or modify an existing agreement. Say that a parent is in a questionable relationship that exposes the impressionable young child to an unhealthy environment. It’s sad, but there have been many cases where a parent becomes involved with a new partner without considering the impact that the new person will have on their child. This is without considering the fact that the child might be spending time with a babysitter or nanny and we’ve all heard horror stories about children being injured or killed by a person who was trusted to care for the child.”

He further advises that, “There are many questions to ask and many issues to consider. An investigation into any one or a combination of these issues is pretty much necessary to protect the welfare of your child. You have every right to know who is spending time with your child and you need to know it. We’ve handled many types of family and personal investigations and have a lot of experience in the matter. We can assure you that our discreet investigators can assist you in answering these questions. Additionally, we can also monitor and document your ex-partner’s lifestyle, living conditions, daily activities, and associates so that you can rest assured that your child is safe.”

According to the law, married parents in South Carolina have equal power, rights, and most importantly, duties when it comes to their children. However, under South Carolina child custody law, a divorce can lead to drastic changes. Furthermore, if the parents were unmarried, the custody of the child lies solely with the mother, unless the father decides to go to court to challenge this.

As Mason explains, child custody cases are often emotional and expensive affairs. Courts prefer that parents work out a custody arrangement between themselves. In cases where the parents cannot come to an agreement, the judges will make the decision for the parents, who must adhere to the judges’ order. Mason says, “One thing you can be sure of is that South Carolina judges who preside on child custody cases always look out for the best interest of the child. Even if divorcing parents manage to come up with their own custody arrangements, a judge will review it to make sure that the arrangement ensures the safety and welfare of the child in question.”
