Navigating Child Support And Child Care Disputes During Summer Break

As summer begins and school schedules disappear, custody agreements and child care arrangements often shift—sometimes in ways that create conflict, confusion, or concern. For parents navigating co-parenting dynamics, especially after a divorce or custody ruling, summer can be a volatile time.

At O’Brien & Associates, we assist concerned parents, family attorneys, and guardians with child support and child care investigations that help ensure court orders are followed, the child’s welfare is prioritized, and any suspicions are addressed with clear facts.

Why Summer Brings Custody And Support Issues

While court-ordered custody and support agreements are legally binding, real-world situations change. Summer vacations, work schedule adjustments, and new relationships can all impact a parent’s ability—or willingness—to comply.

Here are some common issues we investigate:

• A parent claims they cannot pay child support but may be working under the table

• A child is being left in inappropriate or unsafe care while the custodial parent works

• A parent is violating visitation or custody agreements during extended summer breaks

• Concerns about substance abuse, criminal activity, or neglect during unsupervised time

• Misrepresentation of financial need to reduce or avoid child support obligations

These situations often place children in vulnerable positions and create serious legal and emotional consequences.

What Child Support And Child Care Investigations Involve

Our investigations are tailored to the unique details of each case but may include:

• Surveillance and documentation to verify employment or caregiving environments

• Background checks on individuals involved in the child’s care

• Verification of residence and living conditions

• Witness interviews or neighbor statements regarding the child’s well-being

• Coordination with family law attorneys to support legal action

The goal is not to escalate conflict—it’s to clarify the truth with credible, professional evidence that can be used in court if needed.

When Should You Contact A Private Investigator?

If you’re concerned that your child isn’t in a safe environment, that custody terms are being violated, or that your ex-spouse is misrepresenting their financial situation, don’t wait. The earlier you act, the sooner you can protect your child and preserve your rights.

We work discreetly, professionally, and efficiently to help you uncover the facts. Whether you’re preparing for a custody hearing or seeking to modify support obligations, our findings are court-admissible and can make a measurable impact on the outcome of your case.
