How Computer
Forensics Can Help Prove Your Divorce Case The
obvious signals
that your spouse is up to something could range from spending a lot of
time 'at
work' or perhaps more time than normal 'out with friends'. The more
subtle
indicators that you are being lied to are conveniently hidden from your
view
especially if you are not familiar with computers, e-mail or the
Internet. In
situations such
as this, a Computer Forensics Investigator can help uncover what
exactly is
going on. Computer Forensic Investigators can identify the truth by
examining
the computer's hard drive and see what websites, e-mails, chat logs and
other
pieces of useful information are available to help you. Once the
information is
collected and you have had time to go over the data, you will then have
the
evidence you need to either believe that your relationship is still
solid and
there isn't any lying and cheating occurring. Or, that there is and now
you
will need to evaluate your options and possibly file for a divorce. The
types of
information that can be collected by a Computer Forensics Investigator
include: ·
e-mail
·
plain
text and documents ·
images
·
calendar
files ·
databases
·
spreadsheets
·
digital
faxes ·
audio
files ·
animation
·
websites Computer
Forensics Investigators use specialized software to
identify and restore formatted, corrupted, deleted or hidden files from
computers or other electronic media while maintaining crucial data
trails, time
& date stamps and accurate chain of custody & controls. They
also
obtain access to protected or encrypted data by using specialized
software.
They are able to untangle the web of data and analyze emails, Internet
searches, file transfers, online account transactions and anything else
a
computer is used to do over the Internet. If
you are in a
situation where you feel that your partner or spouse is lying and
cheating on
you, it is up to you to take action. A computer forensics investigation
can
help you take those steps to collect the evidence you may need to
protect
yourself and your family.
