Child Custody Investigations in Key Biscayne, FL
Privacy matters on the island. We document the other parent's time with the children quietly and give your attorney evidence a judge can use.
Free, discreet consultation. Your name stays out of it.
A Judge Needs Facts, and Facts Are Hard to Get on an Island
Chapter 61 puts the child’s best interests at the center of every Miami-Dade parenting plan, and the judge often has two competing stories to go on. Yours is testimony. Footage is evidence you can hand over.
Wasser Investigations has taken Key Biscayne custody matters since 1985, and Travis Wasser handles each case himself. He documents the exchange at the gate on Harbor Drive, the guest who arrives after bedtime, the parent at a Crandon Boulevard restaurant while a nanny covers the children, and the pickup that never happens. Then he writes the report for a Miami-Dade judge.
Key Biscayne Parents and Attorneys Who Need Discretion and Proof
You Need to Know What Happens Behind the Gate
A new partner you know nothing about is sleeping over. A nanny you were told about is not the person actually watching the kids. Your child comes home saying things that do not add up. Tell us what you have seen. We explain what we can lawfully document and then start work, quietly. If the other parent is doing fine, we tell you that too.
Quiet Work, Evidence a Judge Can Use
We deliver timestamped video and a documented chain of custody, and our investigator has testified in South Florida family courts for decades. Sessions are scheduled around the timesharing calendar so the evidence matches the issues in your motion.
Six Things That Change Parenting Plans
Overnight guests during timesharing
A guest arrives past the doorman at 11 p.m. and leaves at 7 a.m. while the children are home. We log the times and run a background check on the guest.
Alcohol and drug use
Evenings at the bars and restaurants on the island or across the causeway during the parent’s time with the children, driving home after drinking, and friends with drug histories.
Supervision
Children left with house staff nobody vetted, home alone, or with an adult the court ordered away from them.
Living conditions and residence
Whether the parent lives where they told the court, who else lives there, and who comes and goes past the doorman.
Schedule compliance
Late pickups, skipped exchanges, school absences, and a parent who says they are at work but is at the beach club.
Relocation and violation of orders
A parent who moved the child without permission, or keeps contact with someone a court order forbids. With the means and a second home elsewhere, leaving can happen fast, so we document preparations early.
Custody Surveillance on an Island With One Way In
Key Biscayne has one causeway and neighbors who notice every unfamiliar car. Doormen and condo boards guard the towers on Crandon Boulevard, and a vehicle parked too long near Harbor Drive gets reported. We plan timing and positions around that, then follow the parent from the building to the school, Crandon Park, and the second address, and keep the work out of the rumor mill.
We keep clear of the children and the other parent. On an island this small, that means changing vehicles and timing, and stepping away the moment someone looks twice. A noticed investigator can do more harm to a case than none.

- Video and photographs stamped with date and time

Questions Key Biscayne Parents Ask Before Hiring Us
Can an investigator legally follow someone on Key Biscayne?
Yes, from public roads and public spaces such as Crandon Park, without trespass or contact. We record video only, and we never go past a private gate or into a building.
Will the other parent hear about this?
No. Only you and your attorney know who hired us, and we stay out of the island’s rumor mill.
Will you involve my child?
No. We document the parent and the surroundings. A child is never approached or questioned.
Will surveillance stand out on a small island?
It would without planning. Key Biscayne has a single causeway and attentive neighbors, so we choose positions and timing carefully, rotate vehicles, and pull off when a session risks exposure.
What does a custody investigation cost?
Surveillance is billed by the hour, with a written estimate up front. Most cases take two to four sessions, and the first call is free.
