DV Evidence
Evidence for Protection Orders, Family Court & Police
We help survivors, solicitors, and police preserve and present evidence — DVO breach surveillance, deleted message recovery, stalkerware detection, location tracking, and the digital footprint of coercive control — in formats Queensland courts accept.
If you are in immediate danger, call Triple Zero — 000.

Evidence Services
Six Ways Evidence Changes the Outcome
Every service is delivered with full chain-of-custody documentation and a court-admissible report — structured for the specific proceedings your matter requires.
Threats & Harassment Messages
Recovery of SMS, iMessage, WhatsApp, Messenger, Signal, Snapchat, and Instagram threads — including deleted messages — presented as court-ready exhibits with timestamps, sender attribution, and hash verification.
DVO Breach Surveillance
Covert documentation of protection order breaches — approach prohibition violations, contact breaches, and property restrictions. Timestamped, geo-tagged, court-ready evidence from the first day of operations.
Location Tracking & AirTags
Analysis of location history, geofence events, AirTag pairings, Find My logs, and Google Timeline to establish the respondent's whereabouts — and document any covert tracking devices concealed in vehicles or belongings.
Stalkerware & Device Forensics
Forensic examination of phones and devices for monitoring software — mSpy, Cocospy, FlexiSpy, Hoverwatch, Cerberus, and hidden MDM profiles. Documented with methodology and chain-of-custody for court.
Coercive Control Timeline
Pattern-of-behaviour documentation mapped against the Domestic and Family Violence Protection Act 2012 — turning isolated incidents into a prosecutable pattern for Magistrates Court and FCFCOA proceedings.
Family Court & Protection Orders
Forensic exhibits and field surveillance reports formatted for Family Court affidavits, ICL briefs, protection order applications, and contravention proceedings — structured to court evidentiary requirements.
De-Identified Examples
What This Work Looks Like in Practice
All identifying details have been changed to protect client privacy. Reference numbers are internal case identifiers.
DVO Breach — Approach Prohibition
Covert surveillance documented the respondent within the exclusion zone on four separate occasions across nine days. Timestamped video evidence with geo-location data was filed as exhibits. The respondent did not contest the footage.
Protection Order — Factory-Reset Phone
Forensic examination recovered over 900 deleted messages and 14 voice notes from a factory-reset device. The communication record established a clear pattern of threats and intimidation and was accepted by the Magistrate without cross-examination.
AirTag Tracking — Coercive Control
An unauthorised AirTag was identified concealed in the applicant's vehicle. Location data correlated with Google Timeline records established four months of covert tracking. The forensic exhibit supported both a police complaint and the DVO application.
Stalkerware Detection — Active Monitoring
Forensic examination found an active Cerberus install with remote access logs spanning six months. The install predated the separation. Evidence was used to support a police complaint and establish a breach of the existing protection order.
The Process
Quiet, Methodical, Trauma-Aware
Every step is designed to feel safe. We work at your pace, with your wellbeing as the priority.
Confidential Intake
You speak directly with a licensed investigator. No call centre, no forms first. We assess what evidence may be available and advise on the safest way to proceed.
Evidence Preservation
Devices are received securely and a forensic image is created immediately — a locked, hash-verified copy — before any analysis begins. Your device is returned promptly.
Examination & Analysis
Targeted examination using certified forensic tools. Deleted messages, location records, app activity, stalkerware, and field surveillance observations are all analysed and documented.
Court-Ready Report
A formal report with the investigator's declaration, chain-of-custody documentation, and methodology required for court admission. Expert witness available if required.
Stalkerware & Device Monitoring
If They Always Seem to Know — There's Usually a Reason
If the other person seems to know where you are, who you've spoken to, or what you've said — your device may be compromised. Commercial stalkerware is widely available, easy to install, and designed to be invisible to the device owner. We find it.
Commercial stalkerware detection
We examine for mSpy, Cocospy, FlexiSpy, Hoverwatch, Cerberus, and dozens of other known applications — including those engineered to hide from standard app lists and antivirus.
Hidden profiles and MDM payloads
Mobile Device Management profiles can grant full remote access without the owner's knowledge. We identify and document any unauthorised management profiles on iOS and Android.
AirTag and Bluetooth tracker detection
We identify unauthorised AirTag pairings and other Bluetooth tracker activity associated with your device, vehicle, or accounts — and document the full tracking timeline for court.
Account intrusion documentation
Preservation of compromised account evidence — sign-in history, device lists, recovery email changes, and session tokens — documenting unauthorised access clearly for court proceedings.

Safety First
Before You Contact Us
Your safety is the priority. These steps help protect you before and during the engagement.
Use a safe device
Contact us from a device the other person has never had access to — a trusted friend's phone, a library computer, or a new device. Do not use a shared or monitored device.
Clear your history
After visiting this page, clear your browser history and delete any records from this visit. Using Incognito or Private mode from the start is safest.
Use a private email
If contacting us by email, use an account the other person doesn't know about. A new account takes a minute to create and adds meaningful protection.
Tell us about safety concerns
Let us know during intake if there are concerns about device handover. We can arrange postal submission, a neutral handover location, or another process that keeps you safe.
