Surveillance — Decatur and DeKalb County
Surveillance in Decatur covers the downtown Decatur Square area, Ponce de Leon Avenue, Scott Boulevard, the Emory University corridor, and residential neighborhoods including Oakhurst, Winnona Park, and Medlock Park. DeKalb County's proximity to Atlanta means subjects frequently travel between Decatur, Inman Park, Virginia-Highland, and Midtown — cross-county routes this firm's investigators handle regularly. All surveillance is documented with timestamped video and a written activity log.
Infidelity and Custody Investigation — DeKalb County Superior Court
Infidelity investigations in Decatur and DeKalb County are documented to the evidentiary standard required by DeKalb County Superior Court. The court's Family Division handles contested custody under O.C.G.A. § 19-9-3, applying the 17 best-interest factors to determine custody arrangements. PI documentation of a parent's conduct, relationships, living situation, and activities with the child addresses those factors with objective evidence rather than competing parental accounts.
Decatur has a high concentration of shared-parenting arrangements, and modification proceedings based on changed circumstances are common in this jurisdiction. Surveillance documentation that establishes a material change since the prior order is the most direct evidence available for modification petitions in DeKalb County.
