Well, it's Valentine's Day - typically one of the busiest days of the year for Private Investigators working in "Domestic" matters.

Whenever a client or potential client calls to tell me that they believe a spouse or partner may be cheating on them and that they would like to do something about it, my first response is "If you are suspicious enough to share such difficult news with me, then chances are your hunch is correct."

Now the question is, "If you hire me to secure information and gather evidence, what do you hope to accomplish?  Are you seeking to confront someone with the evidence, are you satisfying your curiosity and looking for personal closure, or are you building a case for divorce, custody or support?" 

As difficult as it is, when you engage a PI in the matter of a cheating spouse or partner, try to put your emotions aside and work with your PI and your attorney to map out the "what" and "why" of your case and the surveillance or research that may be involved.  Always ask yourself the question... "Do I really want to know, and do I really want to see the evidence of my suspicions?"
