SURVEILLANCE

Magnum Investigations, LLC is licensed in New Jersey and Pennsylvania; this agency Specializes in Photographic Surveillance as it pertains to:

• Cheating Investigations
• Child Custody Investigations
• Alimony Investigations. 

This agency does not get caught, and your partner will have no idea they were ever being followed; this is very important because you don’t want to cause any more damage and/or waste your money.  Magnum does not subcontract your case to another company; they handle every case in-house.  Many competitors subcontract your case to another company if they have two investigations on the same day.  Photographic Surveillance is very difficult, and most companies get caught, thus causing irreparable damage.  Magnum will definitely cost more than other companies because they utilize a team of investigators and video surveillance specialists.  As with any profession (i.e., medical, educational, etc.), specialists always cost a bit more. In return, you receive better care and services based on unparalleled experience and knowledge, and better equipment and tactics.  Magnum will video/photo document your partner’s or ex’s activities without s/he knowing.  The images will have a date and time stamp and will be certified.  Magnum Investigations, LLC covers all of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Because they are licensed, the investigative package (reports, pictures, and/or video) is admissible in court, meaning you can use it. 

CHEATING INVESTIGATIONS

Cheating Investigations don’t typically take much time.  Statistics show that if you suspect that your partner is cheating, then they probably are.  You need to listen to your instincts; if you have a gut-feeling that they are cheating, you need to listen to your intuition.  Approximately half of the cheaters leave few, if any, warning signs.  Often the person they are cheating with coaches them in how to be careful in getting caught.  So, in reality, you are not dealing with the person you think you know.  Cheaters are always paranoid about getting caught and continually take precautionary measures to avoid detection and correct mistakes that you may have pointed out.  The only thing that will end the lies and provide you with the closure you need is a video and/or photographic proof.  Only a skilled investigator can capture photographic proof without your partner detecting the investigator.  Never try to take matters into your own hands or have a friend or relative attempt to follow your partner.  Surveillance is a fine art and much more difficult than most people imagine.  Following too close will result in detection, and following too loosely will lose observation of your partner.  If an investigator gets caught, it will be the worst thing that could ever happen to you.  Not only will you be out a whole lot of money, but you will have caused irreparable damage to your relationship, which would be terrible, especially if your partner wasn’t even cheating, to begin with.  There are no re-dos; if an investigator gets caught, your spouse will forever take precautionary measures to counter any investigator's likelihood following him/her.  In other words, you will never learn and unveil the truth.  You only get one shot at this, so make sure it’s done right.  Magnum Investigations has provided services for more than 25-years and specializes in video surveillance; it's all they do.  Photographic proof will help you immensely by exposing the truth, and as a result, you will be able to decide on what to do next without second-guessing your decision.

CHILD CUSTODY INVESTIGATIONS

Child Custody Investigations are much more complex than Cheating investigations but not nearly as complex as Alimony/Cohabitation Investigations. If you have children and you and your partner break up, the Family Court will designate one of you as the Primary Residential Custodian.  The other parent will usually have unsupervised visitation and is normally obligated to pay child support to the primary custodian.  Often the Primary Custodian is not the better fit.  If you believe you are the better fit as the Primary Custodian, then it's your responsibility to prove why.  Maybe your ex is living a lifestyle that is not conducive to primary custody.  If you believe he is engaging in irresponsible, immature, unethical, and/or illegal activity, Child Custody Surveillance can be valuable.  Maybe your ex is not spending quality time with the children and instead permitting others to care for them.  Maybe your ex is a partier and possibly drinking and driving.  Maybe your ex has the wrong priorities; they might now prioritize their new relationship (girlfriend/boyfriend) over their relationship with your child; in other words, maybe they are putting their girlfriend/boyfriend ahead of the children.  In an extreme example, they might be engaging in drug abuse.  Regardless of the lifestyle issue, it needs to be proven. Magnum Investigations deploys a team of investigators who work together simultaneously but from separate vehicles.  This ensures the maximum success of obtaining photographic documentation of the activity without your ex ever realizing s/he was under surveillance.  These cases are NOT won by an attorney; they are won by the investigative proof a seasoned investigation agency obtains.  Attorneys are a big waste of money, and in the end, the outcome will be no different than if you represented yourself.  Supervised Visitation is just that: it's when your ex has visitation, and it's supposed to be supervised.  Often, the supervisor will be present at the transfer; however, shortly thereafter, the supervisor will either leave, or your ex will leave.  It’s a big sacrifice for a supervisor to stay the entire time, and therefore the supervisor will usually leave the residence, and then your ex is alone with the child.  Sometimes, the ex will leave the child alone with the supervisor so they can pursue their own interests instead of spending quality time with the child.  In either scenario, it violates the court order, and they can be held in contempt, usually resulting in a revocation of visitation.  Of course, the supervisor will return shortly before the next transfer, providing the illusion that s/he was there the entire time.  The only way to prove these violations is through a licensed investigation agency with the skill set, workforce, resources, vehicles, and experience.

Alimony / Cohabitation Investigations

Alimony/cohabitation investigations are by far the most complicated and complex investigations there are.  Unlike a cheating investigation where once you document a kiss and you are done, these cases take a great deal of time because of what’s at stake.  Essentially, you are asking a Judge to revoke or reduce your Alimony obligation. For that reason, the Judge needs to be certain the evidence is compelling enough to establish cohabitation. These cases are costly, mainly because they take a lot of time.  You should expect that once your ex learns you are fighting to have the Alimony revoked, they will hire a lawyer, and that lawyer will fight hard to refute your claim.  Magnum recommends that if you can’t recoup the investigative costs in a year’s savings from not paying Alimony, then it's not worth hiring an investigation agency.  If you only have a year or two left of Alimony, it may not be worth it.  However, if you have three years or more, or the rare Permanent Alimony, then it’s a no-brainer; you hire an investigation agency.  Violators almost always have a false sense of security, thinking that if you ever make an issue, they and their new partner can prove they have separate residences.  That sense of security is the furthest from the truth.  In almost every case that Magnum Investigations handles, the ex and the new partner have separate residences. However, Magnum still has 92% success in having the client’s Alimony obligation revoked or reduced.  If you suspect your ex is spending most nights with the new partner (some nights at one house and some nights at the other, or most nights at one location), don't delay contacting Magnum Investigations for a free, confidential consultation.  Do not tell anyone, including your friends, neighbors, or attorney, that you are looking into your suspicions because if it leaks back to your ex, then you will never be able to document it.  You only get one shot, so you need to make it count.  If one little thing goes wrong, you will not only lose your only chance of prevailing, but also waste a whole lot of money.  If you prevail, this can be a life-changer; our clients end up saving tens of thousands of dollars over time.  So keep your mouth shut and hire the best in the business.
