Infidelity investigations in Spain

If you need to know rather than suspect, the answer comes from observation carried out lawfully and recorded in a signed report — not from reading a phone, which in Spain is a criminal offence and destroys your position.

We call back from a discreet number, at a time you choose. Nothing is recorded on your side.

It's --:-- in Spain — an investigator is available now.

The five things people ask before they call


Is this legal?

Yes, where it is carried out by a detective holding a TIP licence and there is a legitimate interest. Observation in public space is lawful; accessing private communications is not.

Will they find out?

They should not, and if they do the investigation has failed. Discretion here is operational rather than a courtesy — a subject who becomes aware changes their behaviour.

Will anyone else know I hired you?

No. We use only the number and channel you choose and never identify you to a third party.

What if I'm wrong?

Then you will know that too, documented. A significant proportion of these cases disprove the suspicion, and clients describe that as worth the cost on its own.

How long does it take?

Long enough to establish a pattern rather than an incident — days of observation spread across a period, not a single afternoon.

What does it cost?

From €1,200 plus VAT, quoted per case rather than by the hour. How pricing works

What we can lawfully establish

Short answer Where a person goes, who they meet, how long they stay and how often — recorded with dates, times and locations by an operative who is not noticed. What happens in public space can lawfully be documented. What happens in private communications cannot, by anyone.

  • Movements and meetings observed in public space, over enough occasions to establish a pattern rather than a single event.
  • Identification of a third party, where that is relevant to what you need to establish.
  • Cohabitation, where the question is whether two people are living together — often the decisive fact in a maintenance dispute.
  • Verification of an account — whether the business trip, the conference or the second job is what it was described as.
  • A signed report, structured, dated and admissible, which the detective can be called to speak to.

What no lawful investigation includes: reading messages, email or call records; placing tracking or listening devices; recording inside private premises; accessing accounts. These are criminal offences in Spain, they apply within a marriage, and material obtained that way shifts the case from what your partner did to what you did.

What an investigator can legally do in Spain

How it works


01

Confidential callback

You describe the situation and what you need to establish. We tell you honestly whether an investigation is likely to answer it. No cost, no obligation.

02

Scope and quote

How many days of observation, over what period, and what that costs — agreed in writing before anything begins.

03

Fieldwork

Observation carried out discreetly and lawfully, with updates on the schedule you choose. If the schedule needs to change, you hear before anything is spent.

04

Signed report

In English, signed by the licensed detective, with findings separated from inference. Whether you ever use it in proceedings is your decision.

Does infidelity affect a divorce in Spain?

Short answer Not directly. Spain has no-fault divorce, so infidelity in itself does not determine the outcome. Where evidence does matter is indirectly — in questions of assets spent on a third party, and above all in cohabitation, which can affect an existing maintenance obligation.

That distinction is worth understanding before you spend anything. If your objective is a better divorce outcome, evidence of an affair alone may not deliver it, and a Spanish family lawyer will tell you the same. If your objective is to establish cohabitation in an existing maintenance dispute, that is a different case with a different evidential target — and one where a documented pattern is often decisive.

And if your objective is simply to know, that is a legitimate reason on its own. Most of our clients in these cases never use the report for anything.

Common questions


Can you investigate a partner in Spain while I'm abroad?

Yes, and it is a common instruction. You deal with us in English from wherever you are; the fieldwork and the signed report are Spanish and licensed, so the evidence holds here.

What should I do before I call?

Nothing, and that is deliberate. Do not confront them, do not follow them yourself, do not involve friends or family, and do not look through their phone. Each of those either ends your ability to find out or creates a legal problem of your own. Signs, and what they don't prove

Will I get photographs?

Where they can be obtained lawfully and are relevant, yes, as part of the report. What we will not do is obtain images in circumstances where doing so would be unlawful, however much they might seem to help.

Do you take cases where there's a protection order?

No. Where a court has ordered that a person be left alone, there is no legitimate interest in investigating them and we decline, including when the client is willing to pay.

Can I stop the investigation partway?

Yes. You are billed for work carried out and authorised, and people do sometimes decide midway that they no longer want the answer. That is a legitimate outcome.

If you are finding this period difficult, speaking to a counsellor or your doctor is a reasonable step alongside establishing the facts.
