Jamie bought Blackman Detective Services in November of last year, and they provide full-service PI work. They help attorneys, businesses, and individuals with everything from background checks to criminal investigations, process services, and all the "fun stuff."

In a previous episode, we talked about the alienation of affection and the cheating that goes on in relationships, and how that affects divorce and legal separation. What is needed in court to prove infidelity is inclination and opportunity. It can be difficult to prove, but phone records and evidence collected from a private investigator can seal the deal.

Jamie talks about what it is like following a cheating spouse, what they can and cannot do. 

We talk about what an initial consult with a private investigator sounds like and the next steps to start an investigation. 

Can trackers be used on cars by private investigators? Yes, but there are rules. 
Can you legally record a cheating spouse? We get into the specifics.

The EX-it strategy asks Jamie what most people's reaction is when presented with evidence of infidelity from a private investigator. Often it's denial. Is there a difference in reaction between men and women? Jamie's answer is, "hurt is hurt."

As long as the case originates in North Carolina, Blackman Detective Services can follow that case out of state. They often find workers in other states. 

Blackman starts with a retainer and often is billed hourly. A normal domestic case can cost anywhere from $1000-$7000. 

We ask what her weirdest case was. The answer may surprise you.

We offer some next steps for spouses who cannot afford legal representation or the services of a private investigator and organizations that can provide help.
