My friend is well off. He has a high priced lawyer and funds to go rounds. Fucker makes more than me.
His ex is making $18/hr now, first job she’s had in a decade. So she doesn’t have that much $, and a PI is expensive. I know from looking into them from my wife’s custody battle. Aside from that she’s a broke ass. I seriously doubt she could afford one and even if she did investigating me would not help her win.
My friend is not associated in any way and I don’t sell so there is never traffic. Nothing goes in the garbage can everrrrrr. A good garbage disposal is a solid investment.
Would be a boring ass expensive steak out with no results and she’s be better spending her money to investigate him.
Your buddy needs to make requests for her personal criminal records. That will fix her up super fast if she's a shady character. Chances she's already been caught up since the separation. SOMETIMES people act out in times of stress like this and the law is there to record it. Courts move slow and they won't find out until later usually.
All the more reason for you and you friend to stay calm.
If you are concerned about a PI, or any outside investigation that might be coming from her. I would advise the following; meet with your friend in the grocery store or something causal and discussing a break in contact. That means NO CONTACT AT ALL. Make it look like you just "ran into each other" and discuss the stop of contact and get your story straight. Then, if you (or him) were ever questioned you would just say "yeah i ran into him but it was brief at the grocery store, but i haven't heard from him since."
Custody courts are concerned with the welfare of the child(s). If your friend(or children) hasn't had any contact with you, in a court of evidence, you ar'nt a threat. Then it comes down to factness accusations, and ONE picture. You buddy could have easily download from a rando on the Internet.
If they come do a welfare check on HIS house, they will find NO drug activity. If you buddy has been residing at your place that must stop NOW.
On a personal note, a family member went through a custody battle. She cried abuse, he said she had an alcohol problem. The court ordered an alcohol study, she passed then got 3 dui's a month later and into a fatal accident on her way to work. Things work out in strange ways.
