Domestic Investigations
Does your spouse go out late, or simply not return when he or she normally would? Do you hear him or her on the phone with someone you don't know? Few things could be worse than suspecting your spouse of cheating on you with someone else. Proving it on your own can be incredibly difficult, particularly if you don't know where to begin. That's why Upstate Investigators, LLC is the perfect choice for putting an end to the charade.
Adulterers take care to be discreet, meeting in secret locations or taking roundabout routes to get to their lovers. Finding their hideouts and rendezvous spots can be incredibly tough unless you follow them constantly, which is both time consuming and impractical. Even worse, if you're spotted while trying to get to the bottom of things, they'll surely change their patterns and you'll have to start all over again.
You deserve to know the truth, and you deserve to take action if your suspicions prove to be correct. But that doesn't mean you need to discover it on your own. Upstate Investigators, LLC is ready to help clients find out exactly what their spouses are doing when they aren't at home, using the latest in surveillance techniques and equipment.
Has a loved one gone missing and are the cops dragging their feet? Has an ex that owes you alimony vanished and you think he or she is just hiding? Have you had a child run away from home, and are you desperate to locate them? Upstate Investigators, LLC is fully prepared to help with a wide range of domestic investigations that can put your mind at ease once and for all.
Adultery Investigations
Any marriage requires work to succeed, yet despite even the best of efforts, they occasionally do fail. If the reasons are mutual and mature, then people can part on good terms and keep the volatility of divorce proceedings to a minimum. Unfortunately, there are times when divorce stems from infidelity, abuse, and other disheartening factors.
These factors change the name of the game entirely, particularly when dealing with alimony and palimony payments. In a court of law, you can't just tout an allegation without being able to prove it. Proving abuse is usually not difficult, simply because you can take photographic evidence to prove you have actually been struck.
Dealing with adultery is entirely different. If a person does not admit to cheating, then you've got no way to prove it until either someone slips up or your spouse actually decides to level with you. The other thing to remember is that even being suspicious of your spouse's adultery means you should take steps to either prove or debunk it. Upstate Investigators, LLC can help.
Upstate Investigators, LLC is one of the states leading private investigation firms, specializing in both domestic and corporate investigations. People throughout the United States have turned to our team of discreet, professional, and highly experienced investigators. We have played a major role in helping many of our clients win settlements by proving the guilt or innocence of their spouses.

Child Custody
Do you think your ex-husband or wife shouldn't have custody of your children because of his or her background or current activities? Many times it's difficult to prove in court the things you might know as fact because you lack hard evidence. With the help of experienced private investigators, however, you can bring to light the truth to protect yourself, your children, and your family. Upstate Investigators, LLC is the clear choice for all child custody disputes, especially when there are issues of credibility and criminality involved.
The Problems of Child Custody
Child custody battles are often ugly, drawn-out affairs in which both parents can, and often do, turn dirty. Credibility gets called into question, finances are exposed in a public setting, and various personal events end up being disclosed for the world to see. Worst of all, the final decision as to who will be granted custody truly is out of the parents' hands.
But what if part of the reason for the divorce was your spouse's deficiencies as a parent? Was he or she abusive? Did he or she not give the children the attention and time they deserved? Were your ex-spouse's personal habits so detrimental you would worry about the children's safety while with your ex? These are the kinds of questions that will come up in court, but without a way to prove them, it'll be tough to convince a judge.
With Upstate Investigators, LLC however, you'll be able to get the proof you need to ensure that your children end up in the right hands . . . ours. We'll work with you to uncover the truth about your ex's neglect, and we will bring it all to light in the courtroom. Our experience in law enforcement and our credibility in the courtroom just may be the tools you need to protect your children and your family.

- Background Checks:
It is amazing how many companies do not require background investigations as part of their hiring practices. Hiring is the easy part; terminating an employee may be costly to the company for a number of reasons. The employee has a history of violence, is a thief, a malcontent, lazy, not qualified or maybe a "plant" put there by your competition. This will cost you money in lawsuits, productivity and keeping your company's secrets secret. To hire, train and then have to release a new employee costs a company on average $5,000. Are you sure the information on the application is correct? Why would a person lie about their phone number? When we complete our investigation, you can be sure the person will be right for that position.

Polygraph Testing
When trust is lost in a relationship, it could takes years to recover, if ever. In many cases the evidence of adultery is not definitive, so the only way to find out the truth is through polygraph testing.
Polygraph exams are used extensively for relationship issues. This is one area of testing where experience makes a big difference. The wording of test questions is critical to a successful exam, since many words can be interpreted differently by different people.
All of the examiners at Upstate Investigators, LLC are experienced and qualified to provide these types of exams.
Types of Exams Available for Relationship Issues
Cheating/Fidelity - This format is used to determine whether one partner has had sexual contact with anyone else besides his/her partner. Other related items may include questions about dating, kissing, contact with "exes," etc.
Personal History - This format is appropriate when a partner needs to verify aspects of his/her partner's background, such as sexual history, drug or alcohol habits, gambling, health issues (particularly STD's), and excessive financial obligations.
Internet Activities - Not all "cheating" requires physical contact. Polygraph can be used to determine the extent of "sexual" activities conducted over the internet, such as visits to pornographic sites, dating sites, visits to sexual chat rooms, interactive sexual web sites, or having "cybersex" (sexual chat) with someone who is not his/her partner.
Polygraph Testing of Employees
Employers are permitted to request that employees submit to a polygraph exam under some specific conditions, as provided for by Federal Law. There are two types of exams typically used by employers, the Specific Loss Exam and the Pre-Employment Exam.
SPECIFIC LOSS EXAM
Questions must be limited to the specific loss only. The examiner is not permitted to ask questions about losses other than those listed in the notification form.
PRE-EMPLOYMENT EXAM
Prior to 1988 many businesses required their prospective employees to take and pass a polygraph test. Since these new laws were passed, only the following businesses are permitted to request pre-employment polygraph exams-
- SECURITY COMPANIES
- PHARMACEUTICAL SALES OR TRANSPORTATION COMPANIES
- POWER GENERATING COMPANIES
- LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES
- OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCIES
