    When Suspicion Meets Strategy: Divorce Law & Investigation

    This episode is about what people get wrong – and right – when it comes to private investigators in divorce cases. Despite what TV and movies suggest, this isn’t about drama or catching someone in the act. It’s about timing, legality, strategy, and protecting yourself. Jessica Zannetti, a Principal and Head of Research and Investigations at Sound Waters Intelligence, has extensive experience working alongside divorce attorneys on cases involving infidelity, hidden assets, custody concerns, and high-conflict situations. She brings a unique perspective on investigations, and how being a woman in this field can change what information people share, what gets noticed, and ultimately, what holds up legally. If you’ve ever had a gut feeling you weren’t sure what to do with or wondered when to ask questions versus when to stay quiet, this episode is for you.
