Suspecting that a partner is being unfaithful is one of the most emotionally difficult situations a person can face. People in this position often spend weeks or months second-guessing themselves before they consider reaching out to a private investigator. If you're reading this, you're probably at that point.
Here's what the process looks like when you contact Birds Eye Investigations about an infidelity case.
The consultation
First, we talk — privately and without judgment. You tell us what you've observed, what your concerns are, and what outcome would be most useful for you. This might be simple peace of mind, documentation for a divorce proceeding, or evidence relevant to a custody dispute. We listen, ask a few clarifying questions, and tell you honestly what an investigation is likely to produce given what you've shared.
The investigation plan
Based on the consultation, we develop a surveillance plan. This includes identifying likely times and locations based on the subject's known routine, determining the most effective observation methods, and establishing what constitutes useful documented evidence for your specific situation.
The surveillance
Our investigators conduct covert surveillance using a combination of mobile surveillance vehicles, aerial drone observation where appropriate, and OSINT research. Every piece of footage and photography is timestamped, GPS-logged, and documented with chain of custody in mind from the moment it is captured.
The report
At the conclusion of the engagement, you receive a written report with supporting documentation. If the evidence is intended for use in legal proceedings, it is formatted accordingly. If you simply needed clarity for your own peace of mind, the report is written plainly and directly.
What if nothing is found?
An investigation that produces no evidence of infidelity is still a valuable outcome. It either gives you the reassurance you needed, or it tells you that the behavior you suspected isn't happening in the ways or places you expected — which is information too.
Everything we do is 100% confidential. To speak with us privately, call or text 615-200-7064.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does proof of adultery matter in a Tennessee divorce?
It can. Tennessee law lists adultery among the grounds for divorce, and conduct during the marriage may be relevant to some issues depending on the facts. How much it matters in your case is a question for a Tennessee family law attorney. Documented, lawfully gathered evidence gives your attorney facts to work with instead of suspicion alone.
Can a PI agency read my spouse's texts or emails?
No. Accessing someone else's phone, email or social media accounts without authorization is illegal, and a licensed PI will not do it. Birds Eye documents what can be lawfully observed, such as where a person goes, who they meet and how long they stay, along with public online activity. Evidence gathered by hacking can also hurt your case.
How long does an infidelity investigation usually take?
It depends on how predictable the situation is. If you know when your spouse is likely to meet someone, a few focused surveillance sessions may be enough. If the pattern is unclear, more time may be needed to find the right windows. Birds Eye plans sessions around the information you provide and puts the scope, timeline and cost in writing first.
Should I tell my spouse I hired a PI agency?
That is your decision, but most clients keep the investigation private until it is finished. Telling a spouse early can change their behavior and make the results less useful. Avoid confronting them with partial information or checking their phone yourself. If divorce is possible, speak with an attorney about how and when to use what the investigation finds.
