Re: Private investigators and stalking.
The investigator can conduct legal surveillance, but not harass you. Looking into your windows is not allowed, because it requires that he trespass to do so. Your best course of action is to get your divorce / separation into family court to have the court provide you with some protection.
These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case. If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.StevensFirm.com). I wish you the best of luck.
