Child Custody Investigations in Kendall, FL
When the kids are with the other parent, you rely on their word. We document what actually happens, so a Miami-Dade judge sees it too.
Your first call is free and stays between you and your investigator.
A Judge Needs Facts, and Facts Are Hard to Get in the Suburbs
Miami-Dade family judges decide parenting plans on the best interests of the child under Chapter 61, which means choosing between two versions of the same weekend. Your word about your ex is testimony. Footage of what happened is evidence.
Wasser Investigations has covered Kendall custody cases since 1985, and Travis Wasser personally runs every one. He documents the exchange in a Kendall Drive parking lot, the guest who arrives after bedtime in The Hammocks, the parent at a Dadeland bar while a sitter watches the children at home, and the school pickup that never happens. The report he writes is built for a Miami-Dade courtroom.
Kendall Parents With Doubts, and Attorneys Who Need Evidence
You Have Doubts About What Happens at the Other Home
Drinking. A new partner you know nothing about sleeping over. Children left home alone after school. A child who comes home saying things that do not add up. Tell us what you have seen. We explain what we can lawfully document and then get to work. If the other parent is doing fine, we say that too.
Footage That Holds Up in a Miami-Dade Courtroom
Every session produces timestamped video and a documented chain of custody, and our investigator has testified in South Florida family courts for decades. We plan around your timesharing calendar so the surveillance lines up with your motion.
Six Things That Change Parenting Plans
Overnight guests during timesharing
A guest arrives at 11 p.m. and is still there at 7 a.m. while the children sleep. We log the visit and run a background check so the court knows who was in the home.
Alcohol and drug use
Evenings at the bars and restaurants around Dadeland and The Falls during the parent’s time with the kids, driving after drinking, and friends with drug histories.
Supervision
Children home alone after school, left with a sitter nobody vetted, or with an adult the court ordered away from them.
Living conditions and residence
Whether the parent lives at the address they gave the court, who else lives there, and who comes and goes.
Schedule compliance
Late pickups, skipped exchanges, school absences, and a parent who claims to be at work but is somewhere else.
Relocation and violation of orders
A parent who moved the child without permission, or keeps contact with someone a court order forbids. We document the early signs before a move happens.
Custody Surveillance in Cul-de-Sacs and Commuter Gridlock
Kendall asks two different things of a surveillance team. In Kendale Lakes and West Kendall, a car idling on a quiet cul-de-sac gets noticed within minutes. On Kendall Drive and the Palmetto Expressway, you can lose a subject at the next light. We plan the route and the positions first, then follow the parent from the house to the school, the mall, and the second address.
Contact is off the table, with the children and with the other parent. We swap positions, and when a session looks risky we break off and resume another day. Being noticed costs a case more than waiting does.

Questions Kendall Parents Ask Before Hiring Us
Is it legal to follow someone through Kendall's streets?
Yes, on public roads, parking lots, and shopping areas, without contact, trespass, or audio recording. We do not enter a home or approach the children.
Will my ex know I hired an investigator?
No. Only you and your attorney know. We keep our distance and stay off the street in front of the house, so the parent has no reason to suspect anything.
Do you follow my child to school?
We watch the parent. A child is never approached or questioned, and no one tells them an investigation is going on.
How quickly can you reach Kendall?
Fast. We deploy from our Coral Gables office, a short drive up US-1 or the Don Shula Expressway, and surveillance is scheduled around the timesharing calendar, so the travel is built into the plan.
What should I expect to pay?
We bill by the hour after giving you a written estimate. Most cases run two to four sessions, planned around the timesharing schedule. Your first call is free.
