Linked Investigations is founded and owned by licensed private investigator, Mike Garroutte, who has been working as a private investigator since 1982.

We offer a variety of private investigative services that are tailored to meet the needs of our Newport Beach clients, including:

1. Catching a Cheating Spouse

Southern California is home to many celebrities, including those whose marriages and relationships were destroyed after adultery was discovered. Whether it was the high-profile couple who divorced amid rumors that he was having a relationship with the nanny, the golfer with dozens of women who say he cheated on his wife, or the celebrity chef who was linked to multiple women, many stars find their sexual indiscretions outed in the public eye. In these cases, celebrities may try to quickly settle their cases after their misdeeds become gossip in order to prevent any further tarnishing of their reputations.

While celebrities can reasonably expect to be discovered due to constantly being followed by the paparazzi, it may be more difficult to discover a person’s illicit affair when they are not in the spotlight. However, professional investigators have years of experience in discreetly determining whether someone is cheating on their spouse. By analyzing documents and data for hidden charges and activities and conducting private surveillance, the seasoned professionals at Linked Investigations have helped identify countless cheaters in the Orange County area.

Generally speaking, evidence of adultery is not necessary for a judge to grant a divorce in California since no-fault divorce is recognized here. Additionally, Southern California judges cannot consider evidence of adultery when determining whether alimony should be awarded. However, many spouses in Newport Beach and the surrounding area have prenuptial agreements that may provide for a greater award of spousal support for the innocent spouse – or the elimination of spousal support – if adultery can be proven. (Additionally, getting proof that your spouse broke his or her vows may be the final piece of evidence you need to convince yourself to let the relationship go.)

2. Conducting an Asset Search

Whether you are filing for divorce or pursuing a lawsuit against a person who has injured you, it is important that you first determine whether that individual has any assets that you may be able to attach to a divorce decree or judgment.

A private investigator in Newport Beach can conduct a complete asset search to locate these items. A basic search includes demographic information about the subject, such as his or her date of birth and social security number. It also reveals public records, such as real estate or business ownership, judgments, tax liens, bankruptcy records, and corporate filings, and much more.

We also offer an in-depth search that can reveal additional details, such as bank account information, possession of securities, or ownership of assets such as vehicles, vessels, and aircraft that may be registered with various local, state, and federal agencies.

Oftentimes, private investigators who have the ability or contacts to provide these specialized services, grossly overcharge for them. Conversely, there are many more under-qualified investigators that only conduct the more basic or elementary asset search services, and offer these at cut-rate prices. Inexpensive asset searches often only locate information that you could find yourself without the assistance of a private investigator. Additionally, an untrained eye cannot necessarily discern which information is accurate – or important – and which is not. The old adage that you get what you pay for definitely comes into play here.

It can be devastating when you suspect your partner or spouse is cheating on you. You ask directly, and your partner denies it. You breathe a deep sigh of relief… for a minute, or a day, or a week. Then, before you know it, your suspicions build again. This is the point where your relationship can begin to seriously erode. Anger and resentment build, intimacy can all but disappear. That gut-wrenching feeling never really goes away and you even begin to suspect you may be going crazy yourself.

If these feelings seem familiar to you, it may be time to take further action to determine whether or not your husband or wife is cheating. The good and bad news is that the signs of a cheating spouse are fairly universal.

Have You Noticed Any of These Signs of a Cheating Spouse?

After more than three decades of running a private investigation firm in Newport Beach, we’ve heard our clients report the following five signs of a cheating spouse over and over again. If your partner has exhibited more than one of them, it may be time to get the evidence you need to provide peace of mind:

  1. Phone habits have changed. The smartphone era has wreaked havoc for those who suspect they have a cheating wife or husband. In the landline days, frequent hang-ups were your only clue. Now, everyone has his or her own phone, and that makes it easy to be sneaky. Thus, changes in phone habits are often the best indicator of whether or not you have a cheater in the house. Typically, cheaters will change phone passwords so you no longer have access, they will leave the room to talk and text, or they will guard their smart phone screen from your eyes if you’re nearby. Your partner may also end conversations quickly or put the phone away as soon as you enter the room or vicinity.
  2. They start going to the gym more frequently. This is a tricky one because we all go in and out of diet and workout cycles. It could be that your partner is truly more concerned about his/her health and is hitting the gym to look and feel great. However, if you suspect your wife or husband is cheating, AND he/she starts hitting the gym with increased regularity and passion, infidelity is a distinct possibility.
  3. Sexual habits have changed. This is an interesting one because, in some cases, cheating spouses will cease or significantly reduce the intimate and sexual encounters they have with their committed partner. They may cite excuses that they’re tired, not feeling well, stressed out, etc. However, in other instances, the titillation they experience from their illicit affair will make them more amorous at home. Like Number 2, your suspicions, paired with one or two of these other signs, makes changes in sexual habits a more significant red flag.
  4. You don’t know where the money is going. All of a sudden, there is never enough money in the accounts, or not as much as there used to be. Perhaps you notice your partner is using his/her ATM card more than normal, but doesn’t have anything to show for it. Increased expenditures – the bulk of which will be in cash unless he/she is using a secret credit card account – is another sign of meals shared, hotel rooms rented, or gifts that are purchased for the mistress or lover. An extension of this includes finding receipts, packages, or evidence that jewelry, clothing, and specialty items are being purchased – but are never presented to you!
  5. Overtime and/or business trips have increased. In any relationship, things progress to a point where secret lunches and occasional stolen kisses are no longer enough. The other person will typically demand more and more time from your spouse, or vice versa. Thus, excuses have to be made for nights or weekends away and lost hours here and there. The easiest excuses of all are “overtime,” “working late,” or “I have another business trip…”

Get the Evidence You Need Using an Affordable Newport Beach Private Investigator

Once you’ve decided that concrete evidence is a must, keep mum! The worst thing you can do is warn your partner or spouse that you are going to hire a private investigator to catch a cheating spouse. This lets them know you are serious and will send them underground, making it more difficult for the private investigator to get the evidence he needs.

Contact Linked Investigations if you’ve noticed signs of a cheating spouse and want to uncover the truth once and for all. We will tailor our surveillance services to your spouse’s schedule so we can use the minimum amount of time to get maximum results.
