Magnum Investigations, LLC

Cheating Investigations don’t typically take much time. Statistics show that if you suspect that your partner is cheating, then s/he probably is. You need to listen to your instincts; if you have a gut-feeling that s/he is cheating, you need to listen to your intuition. Approximately half of the cheaters leave few, if any, warning signs. Often the person they are cheating with coaches them in how to be careful in getting caught. So, in reality, you are not dealing with the person you think you know. Cheaters are always paranoid about getting caught and continually take precautionary measures to avoid detection and correct mistakes that you may have pointed out. The only thing that will end the lies and provide you with the closure you need is a video and/or photographic proof. Only a skilled investigator can capture video/photo proof without your partner detecting the investigator. Never try to take matters into your own hands or have a friend or relative attempt to follow your partner; if 1-man PI companies get caught, you or your friends will definitely get caught. Surveillance is a fine art and much more difficult than most people imagine. Following too close will result in detection, and following too loosely will lose observation of your partner. Cheap companies get caught; you really do get what you pay for. If a cheap company gets caught, you can rest assured you will not receive a refund. If an investigator gets caught, it will be the worst thing that could ever happen to you. Not only will you be out a whole lot of money, but you will have caused irreparable damage to your relationship, which would be terrible, especially if your partner wasn’t even cheating to begin with. There are no re-dos; if an investigator gets caught, your spouse will forever take precautionary measures to counter any investigator's likelihood following him/her. In other words, you will never learn and unveil the truth. You only get one shot at this, so make sure it’s done right. Magnum Investigations has provided services for more than 18-years and specializes in video surveillance; it's all they do. Video proof will help you immensely by exposing the truth, and as a result, you will be able to decide on what to do next without second-guessing your decision.

Child Custody Investigations are much more complex than Cheating investigations but not nearly as complicated as Alimony/Cohabitation Investigations. Suppose you have children; when you and your partner break-up, one of you will be deemed by the Family Court as the Primary Residential Custodian. The other parent will usually have unsupervised Visitation of the children and typically be obligated to pay the primary custodian child support. Often the Primary Custodian is not the better fit. If you believe you are the better fit as the Primary Custodian, then it's your responsibility to prove why. Maybe your ex is living a lifestyle that is not conducive to having primary custody because s/he is living a lifestyle that is not conducive to such. If you believe he is engaging in irresponsible, immature, unethical, and/or illegal activity, then a Child Custody Surveillance will be valuable. Maybe your ex is not spending quality time with the children and instead permitting others to care for them. Perhaps your ex is a partier and possibly drinking and driving. Maybe your ex has wrong priorities; s/he could prioritize his/her new relationship (girlfriend/boyfriend) over the relationship s/he has with the child; in other words, maybe s/he is putting his/her girlfriend/boyfriend ahead of the children. Maybe on the extreme example, s/he is engaging in drug abuse. Regardless of the lifestyle issue, it needs to be proven. 1-man companies will get caught very quickly and will not successfully build a successful case; these cases take time, and if your ex keeps seeing the same vehicle day after day, then s/he will undoubtedly catch on. Magnum Investigations deploys a team of investigators who work together simultaneously but from separate vehicles. This tactic ensures the maximum success of obtaining video documentation of the activity without your ex ever realizing s/he was under surveillance. These cases are NOT won via an attorney; instead, they are won by the investigative proof that a seasoned investigation agency obtains. Attorneys are a big waste of money, and at the end of it, the outcome will be no different than had you represented yourself. Supervised Visitation is just that, it's when your ex has Visitation, and it's supposed to be supervised. Often, the supervisor will be present at the transfer; however, shortly after that, either the supervisor will leave the premises, or your ex will leave. It's a big sacrifice for a supervisor to stay the entire time, and therefore the supervisor will usually leave the residence, and then your ex is alone with the child. Sometimes, the ex will leave the child alone with the supervisor, so s/he can engage in their interests instead of spending quality time with the child. In either scenario, it's a violation of the court order, and s/he can be held in contempt, usually resulting in a revocation of Visitation. Of course, the supervisor will return shortly before the next transfer providing the illusion that s/he was there the entire time. The only way to prove these violations is via a licensed investigation agency with the skillset, the staffing, the equipment, vehicles, and experience. 1-man companies will raise suspicion amongst the neighbors, and soon enough, everyone will know the investigator is there.

Alimony/cohabitation investigations are by far the most complicated and complex investigations there are. Unlike a cheating investigation where once you document a kiss and you are done, these cases take a great deal of time because of what's at stake. Essentially you are requesting that a Judge revoke or reduce your Alimony obligation. For that reason, the Judge needs to be sure that the proofs are compelling to constitute cohabitation. Most investigation companies have no idea whatsoever what the judges are looking for. Few attorneys even know how to win these cases. Magnum Investigations has a 92% success rate, which is astounding. These cases are costly and primarily because of how much time is needed. You have to expect that once your ex learns that you are fighting to have the Alimony revoked, s/he will hire a lawyer, and that lawyer will fight hard to refute your claim. Magnum recommends that if you can't recoup the investigative costs in a year's saving of not paying Alimony, then it's not worth hiring an investigation agency. If you only have a year or two left of Alimony, it may not be worth it. However, if you have three years or more, or the rare Permanent Alimony, then it's a no-brainer; you hire an investigation agency. Violators almost always have a false sense of security in thinking if you ever make an issue, s/he and his/her new girlfriend/boyfriend can prove that they have their separate residences. That sense of security is the furthest from the truth. In almost every case that Magnum Investigations handles, the ex and the new partner have separate residences. However, Magnum still has 92% success in having the client's Alimony obligation revoked or reduced. Whether they alternate between both homes or spend most nights at one location, if you suspect that your ex is spending most nights together with the new partner, then do not delay contacting Magnum Investigations for a free, confidential consultation. Do not tell anyone, including your friends, neighbors, or attorney, that you are looking into your suspicions because if it leaks back to your ex, then you will never be able to document it. You only get one shot at this, so you need to make it count. If one little thing goes wrong, you will not only have lost your only chance of prevailing, but you will also have wasted a whole lot of money. If you succeed, this can be a life-changer; our clients end up saving tens upon tens of thousands of dollars over time. Therefore, you need to keep your mouth shut and hire the best in the business.

Statistics show that 98% of Cheaters will engage in an affair while they are away on business or vacation without their spouse. If your spouse claims he/she is going away on business and you suspect things are not correct, then you need to take advantage of the opportunity to learn the truth. When there is distance between the cheater and the spouse, the cheater will usually become complacent and less careful. There is no better time for a cheater to cheat than during a time when he/she is far away from home. We are the only agency that offers this service! Don’t believe us? Then check for yourself. Business-trip Surveillance is much more complicated than any other surveillance because the investigators are unfamiliar with the geographic situation and are often confronted with unanticipated obstacles. We have found our niche, which is handling complicated surveillance investigations such as Business-trip Investigations. The odds are stacked against the investigators, and if the investigators are not specially trained for these types of investigations, they are guaranteed to fail their mission. Each of our investigators received rigorous training in conducting such surveillance assignments. Our agency can provide such services whether they are domestic or international. It is not uncommon for a cheater to take his girlfriend with him on a business trip. In some cases, the cheater may claim that it is a business trip when in reality, it is nothing more than a vacation that she has planned so quality time can be spent with her boyfriend without the risk of getting caught. In other cases, your spouse might not have a girlfriend/boyfriend but takes advantage of the situation and engages in a one-night stand with someone while away on business. On the reverse side of things, if you have a business trip or vacation planned and you suspect that your spouse will cheat while you are gone, then you too could benefit from our service. We have a 100% success rate at obtaining documented proof of a cheater engaging in an extra-marital affair while our client was “out of town.” “Don’t miss your opportunity to learn the truth; you might not ever have another chance as good as this one. If you allow the opportunity to pass, then it will be too late.” Owner- Christopher Halscheid Please do not wait until the last minute to retain our agency; it is recommended that you take action the minute you learn of the trip. These investigations need to be planned precisely. Otherwise, the timing will be off; in other words, we will provide you with guidance and assist you in planning things just right so we can maximize the likelihood of documenting the infidelity.
