Private Investigator for Infidelity and Divorce in France
A doubt that’s weighing on your relationship
Suspecting your spouse of infidelity is a trying experience, and it’s often a turning point before deciding to separate. But a mere suspicion isn’t admissible in court: before a judge, only evidence obtained lawfully holds any weight. Trying to catch your partner in the act on your own—searching through a phone, clumsily following them, intercepting messages—is not only ineffective but can backfire and weaken your case.
Hiring a licensed private investigator is exactly what is needed in this situation. The investigator gathers objective evidence—such as habits, social circles, outings, and any possible second residence—in strict compliance with the law, and then documents it in a detailed report. This report can be submitted in divorce proceedings, particularly to establish grounds for fault, or simply to help you make an informed decision.
Beyond divorce, these findings also help clarify a situation before taking any action: to confirm or dispel a doubt, or to resolve an uncertainty that is making daily life difficult. Our role is not to judge, but to provide you with the facts, with tact and discretion.
What Our Survey Covers
Our approach aims to provide an objective assessment of the situation, while always remaining within the legal framework:
Discreet surveillance and observation of the spouse, at the relevant locations and times
Assessment of interactions and identification of a possible relationship
Verification of actual lifestyle: outings, travel, second home
A collection of dated physical evidence (reports, photographs) that can be used in court
If applicable, we will cross-check this information with the details you provide to us.
Everything is documented and time-stamped to ensure the report’s evidentiary value. If you’re concerned that you yourself are being monitored at home or in your vehicle, we can also help: see our spy device detection.
How is the investigation proceeding?
It all starts with a confidential, free, and no-obligation consultation to understand your situation and define a clear objective. We provide you with a step-by-step plan and a precise quote—with no surprises. Our investigators then carry out their work in the field, anywhere in France and at times that work for you, with complete discretion. Upon completion, you’ll receive a detailed, illustrated report, prepared for submission in divorce proceedings or for use by your attorney. You’ll have a single point of contact from start to finish, and nothing will be done without your consent.
Why Choose the Aquila Group
The Aquila Group is a private detective agency accredited by the CNAPS, ensuring that our operations are strictly regulated by law—an essential requirement for evidence of infidelity to be admissible in court. Your cases are handled by our own investigators, never by an anonymous third party, and we respond quickly throughout France, with particularly high demand in the Paris region.
Nonjudgmental listening, absolute discretion, and total respect for your privacy are the cornerstones of our commitment: we know how difficult it is to open up about this subject. Often, these matters are intertwined with other family issues, such as child custody proceedings. To discuss your situation with us, please contact our team : the initial consultation is free and requires no obligation.
The Legal Validity of a Statement of Infidelity
In divorce cases, the judge evaluates each element based on its legality. A report prepared by an accredited firm—dated and detailed—provides precisely the assurances required: it describes verified facts, places them in time and space, and refrains from any speculative interpretation. It is this rigor that makes it a solid piece of evidence, capable of withstanding challenges from the opposing party.
Conversely, evidence obtained through unfair means—such as clandestine recordings, unauthorized access to accounts, or unauthorized geolocation—is not only excluded from proceedings but may also expose you to legal action. Entrusting this process to a professional therefore serves to protect your case as much as it does to gather evidence: we know where the line is drawn, and we scrupulously respect it—in your best interest.
Hiring a private investigator in this situation is no small matter. Many of our clients hesitate for a long time before taking the plunge, torn between the need to know and the fear of taking action. Our role is to support you without any pressure: we listen to your situation, clearly explain what’s possible, and don’t proceed with anything without your explicit consent.
Throughout the assignment, you’ll have a dedicated point of contact who will keep you informed of our progress. Upon completion, we’ll take the time to present the report to you and answer your questions, whether you then decide to pursue legal action or simply move on. The confidentiality of your case is guaranteed from the first call through the delivery of the findings.
This approach—which is both compassionate and thorough—is at the heart of what we do: it’s not just about establishing the facts, but about helping you regain control of a situation that had gotten out of hand, with complete peace of mind.
Our investigators operate in accordance with strict ethical standards and use only methods that comply with the law. This ensures that our work is both effective and beyond reproach—and will never backfire on you.
