Relationship Investigations
Suspicion about a relationship is one of the most personally difficult situations a person can face. Uncertainty is often harder to live with than difficult truths, and seeking clarity is a reasonable response to genuine concern.
At Vera & Vale, relationship investigations are handled with absolute discretion, sensitivity and care. Our approach is shaped by our founder’s background as a published domestic abuse researcher and former Metropolitan Police officer. We understand the emotional weight of these situations and take it seriously.
Whatever the outcome, we aim to provide honest, factual information in a way that supports you to make informed decisions.
When a client suspects a partner may be unfaithful, we conduct discreet surveillance and enquiries to establish the facts. This may involve monitoring movements and meetings, identifying patterns of behaviour, confirming or ruling out contact with a third party, and documenting findings in a clear, factual report.
Our surveillance operatives are experienced and professional. Their work is conducted lawfully and discreetly, with no risk of drawing attention to the investigation.
We can verify whether someone is who they claim to be, check their online presence and digital footprint, identify inconsistencies in their stated history, and confirm or rule out other active relationships. These checks are conducted discreetly, lawfully and without alerting the subject.
A partner background check covers identity verification, lifestyle and financial consistency, confirmation of relationship or marital status, employment and professional background, and relevant risk indicators. Commonly requested by individuals who are in the early stages of a new relationship or who have concerns about inconsistencies.
For clients considering a significant personal commitment, a pre-matrimonial check provides reassurance and peace of mind. We verify identity, marital status, lifestyle, financial situation and any undisclosed concerns.
We can confirm current living arrangements, identify undisclosed partners or dependants, and assess the consistency of a stated lifestyle.
Our founder’s background includes published research in domestic abuse. She understands that relationship concerns exist on a spectrum from simple uncertainty to situations involving coercive control or risk. Our case management reflects that. We communicate honestly, without judgment, and at a pace that works for the client.
