matrimonial surveillance

What is matrimonial surveillance?

Matrimonial surveillance is the covert observation of a partner or spouse to determine whether they are being truthful in their actions and intentions. It can be used to confirm or dispel suspicions of infidelity, dishonesty, financial misconduct or other deceptive behaviour. In many cases, this service is used to provide legal professionals. Investigations are documented to support divorce proceedings, financial settlements or custody disputes.

We act as a trusted support for solicitors handling high-conflict separations, helping to uncover and document facts.

Supporting legal professionals

We understand the emotional and legal complexities that arise when a relationship breaks down. Our matrimonial surveillance services are designed to support solicitors, legal professionals and private individuals by gathering factual, unbiased evidence. Our findings can inform decision-making in cases involving suspected infidelity, deceit, hidden assets or complex divorce proceedings.

Working with clients across the UK, our network of experienced investigators conducts surveillance and investigations with discretion and professionalism. Whether our findings bring peace of mind or help strengthen a legal case, we ensure every investigation is approached with sensitivity, accuracy and respect for privacy.

How we work

All our matrimonial surveillance cases begin with a detailed consultation to understand the nature of the concern and desired outcome. We then discreetly monitor the individual in question, using advanced surveillance techniques and technology where appropriate.

Our network of operatives is trained to blend seamlessly into their surroundings. All evidence gathered (photographic, video, or documented in written reports) is compiled with full attention to legal admissibility and confidentiality.

Surveillance may take place over days, weeks, or longer, depending on the requirements of the case. After our investigation, we provide a comprehensive report that can be used to support further legal action or personal decision-making.

Matrimonial investigations

Matrimonial surveillance can be one part of a wider investigation. We frequently support solicitors and their clients with deeper investigative work. This can include tracing undisclosed assets, identifying cohabitation, verifying claims made during separation or divorce proceedings, and conducting background checks on new partners.

In some cases, the discovery of infidelity or hidden financial assets can significantly impact the terms of a divorce settlement. Our network of investigators is skilled in uncovering facts that may not be voluntarily disclosed, helping clients achieve a fair and informed resolution.

Compassionate investigations

We recognise that matrimonial investigations are highly personal and can be emotionally difficult. Our network of investigators is trained to approach each case with empathy, care and the highest degree of confidentiality. We communicate clearly and discreetly throughout the process, ensuring our clients are informed and supported at every step.

Whether you’re a solicitor representing a client, or an individual seeking peace of mind, we are committed to providing reliable intelligence and clear evidence, without judgement or intrusion.

We operate across the UK, enabling us to carry out matrimonial surveillance and investigations wherever they are required. Our national network of experienced investigators is coordinated through a central team to ensure consistent, high-quality service no matter the location.
