The topic of child custody is a broad field in the work of our private detectives in Munich, as new case constellations constantly arise and each family situation places individual demands on our services. Most frequently, Kurtz Investigations Munich is commissioned to assess child-appropriate care during the exercise of custody by a suspect parent – specifically, in these cases our detectives observe for breaches of duty of care, violence and abuse against children, neglect, and poor handling (for example by an unsuitable new partner of the other parent). We are happy to advise you on this matter at +49 89 7007 4301.
Furthermore, we would like to present below two additional areas within child custody and children that Kurtz Detective Agency Munich encounters at irregular intervals:
Parental separation also causes problems for children – often more than adults can imagine. The absence of a parent, sometimes combined with only limited fortnightly visitation rights, fails to meet the children’s needs – regardless of their age. In many cases, children and adolescents in such situations become behaviourally conspicuous, withdraw, or act aggressively, become outsiders, or join – at times criminal – groups; they may become hyperactive and occasionally even at risk of suicide.
Especially regarding peer pressure and criminal tendencies, which can escalate into drug abuse, drug trafficking, acquisitive crime, property damage, and bodily harm, early intervention by the parents is essential. Conversations alone provide little insight with the usually reserved adolescents, which is why the behaviour must be monitored. Our private detectives from Munich are happy to assist with the observation of your child, helping to ensure the child does not go astray: kontakt@kurtz-detektei-muenchen.de.
There are recurring cases in which disputes between separated parents escalate to the point where one parent decides to "run away" with the child. The child is then effectively abducted and completely removed from the influence of the uninvolved parent. If joint custody and residence rights exist, this action is, of course, unlawful. Frequently, the cause of this often irrational behaviour lies in the perpetrator’s psychological issues or illnesses. Often the child even agrees to the relocation, as they have been consciously manipulated and incited against the other parent. In this way, the perpetrator attempts to create a loyalty conflict and draw the child to their side.
In investigations concerning child abduction, there are various approaches, as the child and parent require accommodation – usually with relatives (for example grandparents), friends, or colleagues. These locations can serve as initial points for locating the missing child. In more severe cases, the flight may extend to remote rural areas or even abroad. Kurtz Investigations Munich works across Europe and, in some cases, worldwide with specialised, locally knowledgeable colleagues, whose assistance generally allows us to locate missing children and return them to their lawful place of residence with the help of the local police.
