Infidelity surveillance is a licensed-PI service. We refer.
We do not perform private investigation field work in Florida. When a matter requires surveillance to confirm or rule out infidelity, we coordinate with a licensed Florida private investigator in our network. They run the surveillance under their license, with their contract and their report. Quinn coordinates the introduction; the licensed PI handles the case directly with you, and discreetly.
Where this gets useful is the pairing.
Many infidelity matters have both a physical surveillance dimension and a digital one covering deleted messages, hidden chat apps, secret accounts, shared-device activity.
That digital half is a digital infidelity investigation, and it is the lane we own: the licensed partner runs the field surveillance, we run the forensics, and your attorney gets a complete picture.
The digital half’s full scope, covering evidence types, the legal groundwork, and state consent rules, is on our infidelity digital forensics page.
How the referral works
- You contact us. NDA-protected. Discreet from the first conversation.
- We scope the matter. The pattern you have noticed, the timeline, what you need to confirm or rule out.
- We introduce you to a licensed FL PI partner. Specialist in domestic surveillance with a track record in Florida family-court matters.
- The partner engages you directly. Their license, their contract, their investigative report.
What we do, what the partner does
- SleuthX (Quinn): consultation, scoping, partner introduction, and digital forensics, including forensic phone extraction, recovered text messages and chat history, hidden-app detection, account-access logs, and stalkerware sweeps when the matter has surveillance-of-you concerns. Expert witness on the digital portion.
- Licensed PI partner: moving and stationary surveillance, photo and video evidence, observation logs, vehicle and pattern documentation, the formal investigative report under their license, and testimony on what they personally observed.
Who this is for
Spouses and partners gathering evidence for divorce, custody, or alimony decisions.
Family-law attorneys building a litigation file before mediation or trial.
Prenuptial enforcement matters where infidelity is a contractual trigger.
We coordinate the partner.
Your attorney coordinates strategy.
Why a referral, not direct delivery
Florida Statute 493 reserves surveillance work for Class C licensees.
Rather than stretch our digital forensics practice into surveillance work it was not built for, we keep the disciplines separate.
You get a domestic surveillance specialist for the field portion and a digital forensics specialist for the device portion.

What this costs
PI-partner field rates are set by the partner.
Florida surveillance typically runs one hundred and twenty-five to two hundred and fifty dollars per investigator-hour, with a typical domestic budget from twenty hours up and a written estimate before the retainer.
We do not mark up partner fees.
The SleuthX digital-forensics companion is examiner-delivered, under our own engagement letter.
On a relationship matter we examine only devices and accounts you own or are legally authorized to access. There is no run-it-yourself option here.
We open the digital matter with a $5,000 refundable engagement retainer; done-for-you forensics run from $3,000, with $400/hr flat for anything beyond, including expert-witness testimony.
For a divorce or custody file we work under your attorney’s direction, which keeps the findings privileged and defensible.
