Each investigation is carried out with sensitivity, transparency, and integrity. Evidence is obtained lawfully through proportionate methods such as surveillance, background checks, and lifestyle assessments, ensuring that our findings are both accurate and respectful of all parties involved.

When Should You Hire a Child Custody Investigator?

A child custody investigation should be considered when there are concerns about a child’s safety, well-being, or the actions of the other parent. If you suspect neglect, abuse, substance abuse, or breaches of a custody agreement, a professional investigator can provide clear and legally admissible evidence to support your case.

At Dion International, we prioritise the welfare of children by conducting ethical, discreet, and effective investigations. Our goal is to provide parents and legal professionals with the evidence they need to ensure a safe and secure future for the child.

The duration of a child custody investigation depends on the complexity of the case and the type of evidence required. Some investigations can be completed within days, while others may require longer-term monitoring to gather sufficient, reliable proof.

We do not accept every case only those where our services can provide genuine benefit to the welfare of the child or assist in achieving a fair legal outcome. This ensures every investigation we undertake is purposeful, ethical, and handled with the highest level of professionalism.

We have a proven track record of delivering results for individuals, businesses, and high-profile clients across the UK. Our reputation is built on reliability, transparency, and a commitment to exceeding client expectations. 

We combine real-world experience with a client-focused approach. Our team includes former British government agency personnel who bring both expertise and discretion to every task. We don’t offer a one-size-fits-all solution — everything is tailored to your current situation.

While some providers offer “budget” surveillance, relying on a single surveillance officer is no longer truly considered covert — and any provider promoting this approach should be treated with caution. It reflects a lack of understanding of professional surveillance operations and can be misleading to clients.

Using only one operative greatly limits the effectiveness of an assignment and significantly increases the risk of compromise. A lone operator cannot reliably maintain visual contact, monitor multiple exits, or reposition without drawing attention.

We typically deploy a team to ensure effective, discreet, lawful and uninterrupted coverage. Investing in a properly resourced operation from the outset often prevents costly mistakes — saving you time, money, and unnecessary frustration in the long run.
