Most people who call about a cheating spouse already know something is wrong. The phone that is suddenly face-down, the new gym schedule, the work trips that don’t add up. What they don’t have is certainty, and certainty is what a professional investigation is for.
We do not guess and we do not exaggerate. We watch the times and places you have reason to worry about, record what actually happens in public view, and report it plainly. Sometimes that confirms an affair. Sometimes it shows the late nights really were work. Either answer lets you stop living in the not-knowing.
Patterns that usually lead to a call
- Unexplained absences, or a schedule that keeps “changing” on the same days
- New passwords, a second phone, or a phone that never leaves their hand
- Money you can’t account for: cash withdrawals, hotel or restaurant charges, gifts you never received
- Sudden interest in appearance, a new gym or a new friend group
- Defensiveness or anger at ordinary questions
- A friend or coworker who is suddenly mentioned constantly, or never at all
None of these prove anything on their own, and we will tell you that. Patterns are useful because they tell us when to watch, which keeps your cost down.
What a Nashville infidelity investigation involves
- A planning call to map the schedule, vehicles, routines and the specific days you are most concerned about
- Mobile surveillance from discreet vehicles, with more than one detective when the subject drives fast, changes lanes or meets someone across town
- Time- and date-stamped video and photographs taken from public places: parking lots, restaurants, hotel entrances, public streets
- Identifying the other person where it is relevant to your case, through lawful public-records research
- Updates on the schedule you choose, sent only to a phone number or email you confirm is private
What you receive
- A written report in plain English: times, locations, what was observed, and what was not
- Organized, time-stamped video and still images
- A detective available to explain the findings to your attorney, and to testify if needed
- An honest recommendation about whether more surveillance would change the picture
Tennessee law that matters here
Adultery is one of the fault grounds for divorce in Tennessee (Tenn. Code Ann. § 36-4-101). Tennessee also allows divorce on irreconcilable differences, so whether proving an affair matters to your case is a question for your attorney. It can affect negotiations, and courts may weigh fault when deciding alimony.
Marital money spent on an affair, such as hotels, trips or gifts, can be raised as dissipation of marital assets when property is divided. Documenting where the money went is often as important as documenting who was there.
Installing spyware on a spouse’s phone, reading their private accounts without permission, recording their calls with other people, or hiding a GPS tracker on a car you don’t solely own can expose you to criminal charges (including § 39-13-601 and § 39-13-606) and get the evidence thrown out. Let us gather it the right way.
How it usually goes
A typical infidelity case, start to finish
Most cases are planned around a few high-probability windows rather than open-ended watching. That is how you get answers without a runaway bill.

Questions about this service
Infidelity investigation questions
Will my spouse find out I hired a detective?
Not from us. We never contact the subject, we work from positions chosen to blend in, and we only communicate with you through channels you confirm are private. If your phone or email might be monitored, tell us and we will set up a safer way to reach you.
Can you get into their phone or text messages?
No, and no legitimate investigator can. Accessing someone else’s phone or accounts without permission is a crime in Tennessee and under federal law. If messages matter to your case, your attorney can pursue them through discovery and subpoenas.
Can you follow them to a hotel?
We can observe and record from public areas, such as the parking lot, the entrance, and a public lobby or restaurant. We do not enter private rooms or areas where people have a reasonable expectation of privacy.
Does proof of an affair change a Tennessee divorce?
It can. Adultery is a fault ground, it can influence settlement negotiations, and courts may consider fault in alimony decisions. But every case is different, so we strongly recommend talking with a family law attorney about how evidence will be used. We are glad to coordinate with yours.
What if they aren’t cheating?
Then that is what we report, with the same care. Many clients tell us an honest “nothing happened” was worth every dollar because it let them stop wondering.
