What is a Pre-Marital Investigation?

​

A Pre-Marital investigation is an in-depth background check that helps you gain a comprehensive understanding of your potential partner’s history. The purpose is to identify key components of a persons past to ensure you know the entire truth and this information can be used to confirm information told to you by your fiance’.  It includes an investigation into your partner’s past relationships, financial status, employment history, criminal records, and other pertinent information that can affect your future together. Many times the investigation is requested by the best friends, family members or parents of the bride or groom when they have concerns that “somethings just not right”. No matter who initiates the investigation, confidentiality and privacy is the top concern and we only report our findings to the person who hired us.
