Do You Need a Private Investigator? 7 Signs It’s Time to Hire One

When life gets complicated, emotions can cloud judgment. Whether you’re dealing with infidelity, custody disputes, legal concerns, or someone who’s gone missing, a licensed private investigator can uncover the facts you need—safely and discreetly. But how do you know when it’s time to seek professional help?

Here are 7 clear signs that it might be time to contact a private investigator like IRATexas, serving Dallas, Fort Worth, and all surrounding areas.

You Suspect a Cheating Partner

If your partner is being secretive, overly protective of their phone, or often unaccounted for, an experienced infidelity investigator can provide discreet surveillance and evidence to confirm your suspicions—or ease your mind.

You’re Involved in a Child Custody Dispute

Family courts require proof, not suspicion. A private investigator can help document parenting habits, unsafe environments, or violations of custody agreements to support your case with solid evidence.

Someone You Care About Is Missing

Whether it’s a runaway teen, lost relative, or someone avoiding contact, we use skip tracing and advanced search tools to help locate individuals legally and confidentially.

You Need to Uncover Hidden Assets During Divorce

Spouses may try to hide income, property, or bank accounts during divorce proceedings. Our investigators specialize in financial asset searches that protect your right to a fair settlement.

You Met Someone New—But Something Feels Off

In the digital age, online dating scams and false identities are common. A dating background check can verify who someone really is before you get emotionally or financially invested.

You Need Proof for a Legal Case

Private investigators are often used to gather court-admissible evidence for civil or criminal cases—ranging from harassment to fraud and insurance claims.

You’re Dealing with Employee or Tenant Issues

Need to screen a potential hire or tenant? Our background checks help business owners and landlords protect their investments with verified, legal data.
