Child Custody Investigations in Hollywood, FL
You cannot watch the other parent's weekend. We can, and we give your attorney the video, times, and dates a Broward judge can use.
Free, private call. No obligation, and nobody else is told.
A Judge Needs Facts, and Facts Are Hard to Get From Across the County
Broward family court decides parenting plans under Chapter 61, and the judge’s first question is what the child’s week actually looks like. Your account of what your ex does is testimony. Video of it is evidence.
Wasser Investigations has worked custody matters in Hollywood since 1985. Travis Wasser handles every case personally. He documents the exchange near ArtsPark at Young Circle, the guest who arrives after bedtime in Hollywood Lakes, the parent at a Broadwalk bar while the children are with a sitter, and the pickup that never happens. Then he writes it up the way a Broward judge expects to read it.
Parents Who Are Worried and Attorneys Who Need More Than a Client’s Word
You Have a Reason to Be Concerned
Drinking. A new partner you know nothing about sleeping over. A sitter you were told about who is not the one actually watching the kids. A child who comes home saying things that do not add up. We listen without judgment, tell you what we can lawfully document, and get to work. When the other parent is doing fine, we tell you that too.
Evidence That Survives Cross-Examination
Timestamped video, a clean chain of custody, and an investigator who has testified in South Florida family courts for decades. We schedule around the timesharing calendar so the surveillance lines up with the issues in your motion.
Six Things That Change Parenting Plans
Overnight guests during timesharing
A new partner arriving at 11 p.m. and leaving at 7 a.m. Judges care who is around the children, and we run a background check on the guest.
Alcohol and drug use
Hours at the bars and lounges along the beachfront and the casino corridor while the children are in the parent’s care, driving after drinking, and associates with drug histories.
Supervision
Children left alone at home, left with unvetted sitters, or in the care of someone the court ordered away from them.
Living conditions and residence
Whether the parent actually lives where they told the court, who else lives there, and the people coming and going.
Schedule compliance
Late pickups, missed exchanges, school absences, and the parent who says they are at work but is at the beach.
Relocation and violation of orders
A parent who has moved the child without permission, or who is in contact with someone a court order forbids. With I-95, the Turnpike, and the airport close by, leaving fast is easy, so we document preparations early.
Custody Surveillance From the Broadwalk to Hollywood Lakes
Hollywood changes block by block. Tourist crowds along the Broadwalk make it easy to blend in, while the quiet streets of Hollywood Lakes and Emerald Hills punish a car that sits too long. We plan the route first, then follow the parent from the house to the school, the beach, the restaurant, and the second address, and log what happens at each stop.
We never make contact with the children or the other parent. We rotate positions, and if a session risks exposure, we pull off and come back. A burned custody investigation is worse than none.
The Custody File
- Timestamped video and photographs from each surveillance session
- A written report with a timeline organized by timesharing period
- Background reports on any adults observed with the children
- Chain-of-custody documentation
- Investigator testimony at hearings or trial
Questions Hollywood Parents Ask Before Hiring Us
Is it legal to follow the other parent in Hollywood?
Yes, from public places like the Broadwalk, streets, and parking lots, and without contact or trespass. We record video only, with no audio, and we never go inside a home or approach the children.
Will the other parent find out I hired you?
No. Only you and your attorney know who hired us, and nothing in our fieldwork points back to you.
Will you watch my child?
We watch the parent and the setting. A child is never approached, questioned, or told that an investigation is happening.
You are based in Coral Gables. Can you cover Hollywood reliably?
Yes. We have worked Broward County custody cases for forty years, and surveillance is scheduled around the timesharing calendar, so the drive up I-95 or the Turnpike is built into the plan.
How much does a Hollywood custody investigation cost?
Billing is by the hour, and you see a written estimate before we start. Most cases need two to four sessions. The first call costs nothing.
