From a 27-year veteran private investigator, Ken Childs. Often times we get calls and spouses have a lot of questions. This video explains what private investigators listen for when you call with a suspected cheating spouse — red flags you’ve uncovered, patterns of behavior, and windows of opportunity where someone may be slipping away to see someone else. These indicators help determine how likely infidelity is and when it’s most likely occurring.

Real Case: How We Caught a cheating spouse in the Act
One of our most memorable cases involved a woman who would “see clients” but was in fact meeting her lover. We caught her at the Santa Anita Mall and later entering the Le Meridien Hotel — proof she couldn’t deny. Cases like these are why clients come to us for cheating wife investigations that are professional, legal and effective.
Initial Consultation | from suspicion to proof
We got a call from someone who believed they knew of an affair with one of their friends. She told us what she and the friend believed what was going on. We knew right away that what they told us was well thought out and likely correct. After a few quick questions, we took the case.
Catching the evidence
We were armed with loads of inside information; we knew what they both did for a living. They both held 9–5pm professional jobs and had young children. With their office hours and having children, it left the weekends being the ideal time to have an affair.
Case Outcome
With a healthy budget we scheduled two weekends worth of surveillance for Friday evenings and Saturday all day. The first weekend we captured video of the suspected couple together playing grab ass at the mall. The following surveillance period we captured them having dinner and drinks. Their tipsy body language and flirting told us “this going down tonight!” We then followed them to the hotel, where we captured video of their arrival at the valet and their departure. While waiting for their car in valet they made out like children having gotten away with something. Little did they know our investigators captured the make out sessions on video.

Catching a Cheating Husband
Our process for catching a cheating husband is relatively straightforward, as most affairs follow very typical patterns with men. We've successfully completed hundreds of infidelity investigations during our time as Los Angeles private investigators, and nearly all follow the same tropes. Usually, factors like staying late at “work”, bringing a change of clothes, and frustration over / lacking intimacy are clear signs of infidelity. Our process revolves around determining daily patterns, then simply performing some straightforward surveillance to catch the cheater in the act. Learn more about our cheating husband investigations today, and call us for a free consultation.
Catching a Cheating Wife
Cheating wives, unlike cheating husbands, are sometimes more subtle to detect. They're careful, collected, and often very skilled at maintaining the facade that everything is normal. If you're concerned that your wife is cheating, don't make any bold moves yourself – your spouse will likely pick up on this, and either lay low, or even cut off the affair to throw you off. If you have a gut feeling and her behavior deviates from what you know to be normal, give us a call for a free consultation – your suspicions might hold more weight than you realize.
Investigations for Unmarried Couples:
While most infidelity investigations relate to married couples, cheating investigations for unmarried couples have skyrocketed over the last decade. Before people rush into marrying each other and getting into a legally binding agreement, or before deciding whether to take the next big step in proposing, more and more couples are skeptical as to the honesty of their partner. Unfortunately, such skepticism isn't without its reason – cheating has become more and more common, as the internet and dating apps have made finding another person easier than ever. While the internet has provided great freedom, alongside that freedom comes the convenience to act on any passing desire or craving. If you suspect your partner is cheating and don't want things to get messy, contact us for a consultation. We'll be able to act as a silent third party that can settle your doubts without disturbing your daily lives.
