Investigation
In South Carolina and most other states, private investigators must be licensed. Licensing requirements vary, but rarely do they provide any guarantee of quality.
Hiring A Private Investigator
Beware of large national firms that simply take your case and then subcontract to local solo investigators with whom you never have contact. Lack of proper licensing can jeopardize an investigation, so make sure you know that the person(s) who will actually perform the work for you are properly licensed.

Family Court Matters
The South Carolina family court is required by law to determine what’s best for children in custody disputes. The “best interests of the child” standard means that even if one parent has taken care them more often than another, they might still lose out on having primary physical responsibility (custody) unless there’s some other compelling reason.
Domestic Cases
Family courts, sometimes called domestic courts, are courts of limited jurisdiction that address issues involving family law. These courts cover a breadth of domestic relations matters including alimony, divorce, domestic abuse, child custody, child support.
Divorce And Child Custody Investigator
Child custody is an often tender topic in divorce proceedings, with emotions running high and sometimes even starting fights. This can be caused by things on either side of the spectrum: some people get too emotional while others need proof before they’ll believe anything (or anyone).
Child Custody Battle
The battle for custody can be an emotionally charged and arduous process, but it need not always end in legally enforceable agreements. You may find yourself at odds with your spouse even after the court reaches its decision on how best to divide time or finances between parents who are still living together as partners during their children’s lives–and sometimes that means disagreeing about what’s right instead of coming up with compromise solutions like shared parenting plans which don’t work out well long term because one party usually gets shafted by them sooner rather than later anyway.
Child Custody Cases

The “best interests of the child” standard means that even if one parent has taken care them more often than another, they might still lose out on having primary physical responsibility (custody) unless there’s some other compelling reason why it should be awarded elsewhere – but typically this would not happen without an extremely high level assurance from both parents about how much time will actually spent together during weekdays or weekends as well any type holidays celebrated annually).
Child Custody Issue
When it comes to custody, the parents will usually share legal responsibility unless there are exceptional circumstances that indicate otherwise. Additionally, South Carolina’s child support laws allow for a non-custodial parent who has access and participation in their children’s school activities except when expressly prohibited by court order – just like any other state!
Child Abuse Investigations
When a child is alleged to have been abused, the investigator must first ascertain their safety and then gather information necessary for resolving issues or making an informed decision on what type of complaint this really involves. Every person with whom they come into contact during investigations may not always be credible; but by paying attention in detail – listening closely- investigators will find evidence that can help them decide whether there’s anything worth pursuing here at all!
