Providing a proof of a third-party involvement can assist you towards a more positive divorce settlement. The evidence we provide can prove “Inclination and Opportunity” and is documented through detailed reports, videos and photographs. This invaluable information establishes a strong “bargaining power” in negotiations for a divorce settlement.
Pinpoint Investigations & Security Corp. provides these services throughout Staten Island, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and the Bronx.
Who Uses This Service
- Spouses, partners, and individuals who need independent facts before making a personal, financial, or legal decision.
- Matrimonial, divorce, family-law, support, and immigration attorneys and the law firms representing their clients.
- Parties in alimony, support, cohabitation, property-distribution, residence, or related domestic-relations disputes.
- Fiancés or premarital clients seeking proportionate due diligence for a legitimate purpose and with any required authorization.
- Forensic accountants, financial advisers, and other professionals working with the client and counsel on asset, income, business, or lifestyle questions.
When to Contact Pinpoint
Clients usually call when important statements no longer match observable facts and they want answers before confronting anyone or taking legal action. Common triggers include:
- Unexplained absences, travel, spending, schedule changes, secrecy, inconsistent locations, or a suspected undisclosed relationship.
- A possible second residence, overnight pattern, cohabitation arrangement, undisclosed spouse, partner, family, or household member.
- Concern that a fiancé or spouse concealed identity, a prior marriage, court history, business interests, property, employment, or financial-pressure indicators.
- A divorce dispute involving residence, employment, income, companies, assets, lifestyle, household composition, or another fact requiring corroboration.
- Possible relationship or residency misrepresentation requiring factual verification; counsel determines any family-law or immigration consequence.
- A need to preserve independent evidence for filing, discovery, negotiation, support modification, settlement, hearing, or trial preparation.
What to Expect
Initial conversation: we discuss the concern, legitimate purpose, names and entities, known facts, safety issues, attorney involvement, confidentiality, deadlines, and the precise questions to answer.
Information requested may include names and aliases, dates of birth when lawful and available, photographs, addresses, vehicles, workplaces, routines, travel, public profiles, businesses, court documents, and known discrepancies. Sensitive material is transferred securely.
Scope and authorization: Pinpoint recommends a records, surveillance, fieldwork, locate, interview, or asset-indicator plan; explains dates, hours, fees, and approved expenses; and begins after written terms and the retainer are complete.
Investigation: researchers verify sources and investigators work discreetly from lawful locations. We do not trespass, hack, bypass access controls, or use a tracker without proper legal authority.
Deliverable: a confidential chronological report with verified records, direct observations, photographs or secure video links, discrepancies, unresolved leads, and limitations. The client and counsel decide what the facts mean and what to do next.
Timing and Availability
An urgent assignment may begin the same day or next business day when investigators are available and the scope, authorization, identifying information, safety plan, and retainer are complete. No start time is guaranteed until accepted.
A focused domestic background, address, court, corporate, property, or public-record review commonly takes about three to seven business days.
Surveillance may require several representative dates or weeks because useful results depend on subject activity, schedule, travel, traffic, weather, public visibility, staffing, and the legal question.
Multiple people or jurisdictions, common names, manual records, difficult witnesses, complex companies, asset analysis, foreign records, or legal process through counsel can extend the work.
Material observations can be reported promptly; the final report follows verification and organization of assigned records, notes, photographs, video, and fieldwork.
Why Pinpoint
Experienced supervision: work is supervised by Igor Galitsky, a retired NYPD Sergeant/Supervisor Detective with 23 years of law-enforcement and investigative experience.
Financial-investigation perspective: experience involving financial crime and money laundering supports focused analysis of business, property, address, relationship, income, and asset indicators.
Licensed regional capability: Licensed Private Detective, in New Jersey and New York, with practical New York/New Jersey surveillance, court-record, corporate-record, interview, and field experience.
Discreet, safety-conscious planning: the investigation is tailored to the legitimate objective, known risks, schedule, budget, lawful access, and counsel’s instructions.
Integrated records and fieldwork: verified public and proprietary records, surveillance, locates, interviews, relationship mapping, and asset indicators are combined instead of relying on a generic database report.
Evidence discipline: direct observations, source records, client statements, allegations, analytical leads, and limitations are separated in a clear chronology supported by organized photographs or video when available.
Important Limits
- No investigator can guarantee proof of infidelity, cohabitation, marriage fraud, hidden assets, or a favorable legal outcome. We document assigned facts; counsel and the court determine legal significance.
- Surveillance covers limited dates and lawful vantage points. It does not reveal every private event, conversation, relationship, intention, or activity outside the observation periods.
- A shared address, overnight stay, photograph, social post, allegation, similar name, or database result is not automatically proof of identity, cohabitation, ownership, misconduct, or fraud. Context and corroboration matter.
- We do not hack phones, email, texts, devices, or social accounts; use stolen credentials; obtain restricted financial or location records unlawfully; trespass; impersonate authorities; or place trackers without proper authority.
- A private investigator does not give legal advice, interpret a divorce or support order, conduct a financial audit, value assets, or decide immigration, support, custody, property, or evidentiary issues.
- We normally avoid confrontation and do not provoke conduct. Discretion reduces risk but cannot guarantee the subject will never notice surveillance or learn of the investigation through litigation.
A De-identified Example
De-identified matter: Counsel in a divorce and support dispute needed independent facts concerning a claimed residence, daily routine, and possible cohabitation. The parties’ accounts conflicted, and counsel wanted documentation rather than assumptions.
What we did: We verified identifiers; reviewed lawful property, corporate, address, court, and public-source information; and planned several surveillance dates around known schedules. Investigators documented arrivals, departures, vehicles, companions, overnight observations, and household-type activity only as visible from lawful vantage points.
General result: The report separated direct observations, source-record links, recurring patterns, inconsistencies, and visibility limitations, with supporting photographs and secure video. Counsel used the facts to guide discovery and strategy; Pinpoint did not label the arrangement cohabitation or offer a legal conclusion.

Frequently Asked Questions
What information do you need to start?
Usually names and aliases, photographs, relevant dates, addresses, vehicles, workplaces, known schedules, public profiles, businesses, court documents, the attorney’s contact information, and the specific concern. We identify the minimum necessary information during intake.
Can you prove infidelity or cohabitation?
No result can be promised. We can document verified records and conduct visible during assigned periods—such as locations, companions, vehicles, routines, and overnights. Counsel and the court decide whether the facts prove infidelity, cohabitation, or another legal issue.
Can you access a phone, texts, email, social accounts, or live location?
Only information the client lawfully owns, may access, or is authorized to provide. We do not hack accounts or devices, use stolen credentials, bypass passwords, intercept communications, or obtain private location or financial data without proper legal authority.
Will the person know or be confronted?
Investigators work discreetly and generally do not contact or confront the subject during surveillance. No one can guarantee zero risk of detection, and any planned interview or contact is discussed in advance with the client and counsel.
What will I receive?
The agreed deliverable normally includes a confidential chronological report, actions taken, verified source records, observations, photographs or secure video links, discrepancies, unresolved leads, and limitations. Testimony and follow-up are available when requested.
How long will it take and what will it cost?
A focused domestic records review commonly takes three to seven business days; surveillance may require several dates or weeks. We work on a retainer basis, and cost depends on scope, urgency, investigators, hours, travel, mileage, tolls, records, reporting, and testimony.
