What if you got married to the man of your dreams, only to discover three months after the wedding ceremony that he already had a wife and five kids? Prenuptial investigations, carried out by private investigators, can help you make sure you’re doing the right thing. Just ask Rick Roy, founder of the Phoenix, Arizona-based Rix Investigations, a full-service private investigations agency that does background checks on all sorts of people.
Carrying out a prenuptial investigation is all part of the background checks that we do. Clients come to us to conduct the similar type of surveillance that we do in a spousal infidelity case — to make sure that the future spouse is doing what he says he’s doing.
Some people worry that they should just believe what their future spouse has told them. But others don’t want to suffer the unpleasant surprise in future when they discover that their husband or wife is already married, not really a doctor or lawyer, or doesn’t really have that fancy degree.
Warning Signs
Still others come to us because they have that nagging feeling that something is not entirely right. Maybe their intended’s history doesn’t entirely add up, or they already have suspicions that they may be having an affair. It’s better to find out the truth now rather than later.
Other think that things are just too good to be true, and in their heart of hearts believe they may be taken for a ride. If this is the case, it might be a good idea to hire a PI (private investigator).
Worried Parents
Saying all that, one out of 10 of the prenuptial checks we carry out is done for a parent, who is making sure someone is good enough for their child. They know that when they get married the relationship will also have a profound effect on their children, and want to make sure they are doing the right thing for everyone involved.
Whatever the case, for complete peace of mind before you tie the knot, hiring a private investigator to complete a thorough prenuptial investigation is always a good idea.
