JMA Topic: Child Custody cases involving Injunctions

JMA Topic: Child Custody cases involving Injunctions

You may currently be in the middle of a divorce and/or custody case when all the sudden you are served with a Temporary injunction for protection by your soon to be ex spouse. This happens far too often then it should, but it happens. Most of the time these injunctions are based on hearsay and not actual evidence. At this point there is no need to get upset or angry, but, you must follow the instructions on this injunction or face criminal charges and/or jail time.

I have had clients in the past (and currently) that come to me asking for help regarding their custody case and they become so worried about the injunction. While many believe this creates a problem, it really does not. It simply changes how we approach this obstacle. I will still meet with them and explain the process. This same process that I am going to briefly discuss with you today.

At this point I advise my potential client to retain the services of a reputable attorney and have the attorney contact me when he/she is ready to proceed with our investigation. Once this is completed then all requests, reports, payments, updates, pictures, video, etc go to the attorney and not to the "client," as the "client" is actually the attorney's "client". Therefore, I am working for the attorney and not the "client". This allows the client to still proceed with their initial legal action plans and not worry about going to jail for a violation of injunction. The client then receives updates directly from their attorney. At no point do I release any information to the individual.

You should speak to your attorney about having the injunction dropped as part of your settlement.. Note, settling out of court is the best option if both parties can come to an agreement. This should be your secondary concern, your children being the primary concern.

Are you currently going through a divorce case involving minor children and have been served with an injunction? Are you going through a child custody case and have been served an injunction? JMA can help and we have the experience to handle these situations. Call us today for a FREE no obligation consultation.

Nanny Cams..What they are. What they can do and how they (nanny cams) and JMA can help!

Recently in Jacksonville, FL Nanny Cams have become a big topic. A local woman, that has been babysitting for over 30 years, was recently arrested. The arrest came after the video from a father's nanny cam was used. The full story can be found here

So what is a Nanny Cam? A Nanny Cam is really a covert / hidden camera that has been used for covert / hidden surveillance. In the last several years these cameras have been used to monitor babysitters / nanny's and therefore the term "Nanny Cam" evolved.


These covert camera's range in size, features and cost. Some covert camera's are so small that you do not have to hide them inside any item, while others are bigger but still hidden within a particular item when you purchase them. These camera's can be wired or wireless, run off batteries or electricity and some even have a built in DVR to record video to. These covert camera's do range in cost but many are affordable for any budget!



JMA Investigative Services, Inc. has the experience and equipment on hand to provide you with examples, knowledge and comfort you are looking for. We are also here to answer any questions you may have.

JMA offers DNA Paternity Testing

JMA offers DNA Paternity Testing




Today I want to cover the topic of DNA Paternity Testing. While I was browsing the internet about this topic. I have read over many blogs, forums, etc.

I have noticed that some women absolutely do not like the fact of having a DNA test done at birth. While I was reading over all this information I also found that almost all Men that are "not sure" prefer to have a DNA test done at birth. So why does this cause such a conflict with the mother and potential father?

Example 1, Mother and Father are not married and Father is "not sure" and would like to have a DNA test done before signing the birth certificate. What is wrong with requesting a DNA test? Not a thing!

Example 2, Mother and Father are married and the Father is 90% sure he is the father. Should he request a DNA test? If he is in doubt then absolutely!

Example 3, Mother gives birth but is unsure of the Father. By locating and tracking down the potential Father we can ask that they take a DNA test to confirm that they are or are not the Father. While we, JMA, can not force anyone to take the DNA test, a judge can order the potential Father to take a DNA test.



What we have to keep in mind, regardless if we are the mother or the father, is that we need to make sure the best interest of the child comes first and then the best interest of the Mother AND Father (equally).

While we can not provide any legal advise, I do base my suggestions or comments from my experience in the State of Florida. If you are unsure that you are the father, you do NOT have to sign the birth certificate. You CAN request a DNA test and you CAN have your name added to the birth certificate at a later time. Once you sign your name, you are the responsible for the child even if he/she is not yours. It is always better to be safe then sorry!

Should you have any questions regarding DNA testing please give us a call.
