If you have specific suspicions of custody violations, the private detectives of Kurtz Investigations Hanover are available to obtain court-admissible evidence: +49 511 2028 0016.

Parental custody is the duty of parents to safeguard the personal well-being and assets of the child. Breaches of this duty may lead to a modification of custody. This could begin, for example, with the child being handed over to unsuitable third parties or being sent into public spaces in an unacceptable condition. Harassment, improper handling of the child’s assets, humiliation, and negative influences from the environment of the suspect parent are also possible breaches. Such violations justify investigations by our Hanover detectives and, once documented in a court-admissible manner, can lead to the revocation of custody and transfer to the other parent or to other suitable relatives such as concerned grandparents.

 

The detectives of Kurtz Investigations Hanover are experts in background investigations to assess the living situation of your child with the ex-partner.

Domestic Violence | Violence Against Children

One of the most common custody violations is violence against children, women, or other persons in the presence of the child (keyword: role model). Nearly 4,000 cases of domestic violence were reported to Hanover police in 2014, though the vast majority of such cases likely go unreported. Almost one-third of the reported incidents occurred under the influence of alcohol.

 

Children are vulnerable, the weakest link in the family unit, and their credibility is particularly limited at a young age. Consequently, clearly disturbed or overwhelmed parents may feel confident in abusing their own children. The police often do not believe the children and close the case. Child welfare services do not always provide help, or their hands are tied if there is insufficient evidence for the suspected acts. Accordingly, our Hanover detectives must do everything possible to obtain this evidence, provided the suspicion is accurate.

 

The stereotype of the "evil stepmother" also plays a role. Violence and abuse (including psychological) are not always perpetrated by the biological parents but sometimes by new partners (stepparents) or other persons in the immediate environment.

Documenting violent acts against children naturally leads to the immediate revocation of custody and often to the arrest of the perpetrator.
