When concerns involving a child’s safety become part of a family law matter, attorneys and clients need reliable information rather than assumptions. Uthe Investigations & Process Service LLC provides discreet, fact-based investigative support designed to document circumstances that may be relevant to parenting time, supervision, caregivers, household associations, and other child-safety concerns.
Our Licensed Illinois Private Detective Agency uses lawful investigative methods based on the specific circumstances of the case. These may include stationary surveillance, background and public-record research, caregiver and associate research, digital and social media investigations, skip tracing, and photographic or video documentation from lawful vantage points.
Our investigators document facts. We do not make custody recommendations, psychological assessments, or legal determinations concerning parental fitness.
When an Investigation Becomes a Safety Matter
Evidence collection never takes priority over the apparent immediate safety of a child.
Uthe Investigations & Process Service follows a See Something, Say Something policy. If an investigator observes circumstances that reasonably indicate a child may be neglected, endangered, or left without appropriate supervision, the investigator will not simply continue observing to obtain additional evidence.
Depending upon the circumstances, appropriate action may include contacting local law enforcement and/or the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS). The investigator will then document the observations and actions taken as part of the investigative record.
