Evidence We Gather

What We Can Recover for Your Matter

Every extraction targets the specific evidence relevant to your proceedings — not a bulk data dump.

Most Requested

Deleted Messages & Communications

The evidence most clients need is the conversation the other party deleted. We recover SMS, iMessage, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Instagram DMs, Snapchat, and Signal messages from device storage — including those deleted weeks or months before extraction.

  • Current and deleted SMS & iMessage
  • WhatsApp including deleted chats
  • Facebook Messenger & Instagram DMs
  • Snapchat artefacts
  • Signal and Telegram messages
  • Deleted call history

Location & Movement Data

  • GPS location history
  • Significant & frequent locations
  • Route reconstruction
  • Cell tower & Wi-Fi positioning
  • Geotagged photo metadata

Cloud & App Data

  • iCloud & Google Account backups
  • Banking & financial app activity
  • Dating app data and activity
  • Social media account history
  • Photos, videos & timestamps

Why Digital Evidence Matters

What a Phone Can Prove — and What It Can Disprove

Proving or disproving conduct allegations

Messages, call logs, and app data can confirm or contradict claims about a party's behaviour — including threats, harassment, or parental alienation — with objective, timestamped evidence.

Verifying parenting arrangement compliance

Location data and communication records can establish whether agreed parenting arrangements were followed, or whether a party was where they claimed to be at specific times.

Financial matters and undisclosed assets

Devices often contain evidence of financial activity that isn't disclosed in proceedings — banking app data, deleted messages about transactions, and communication with third parties about assets.

Recovering evidence that was deliberately deleted

Deletion before proceedings is not uncommon. We regularly recover messages and data that parties believed were permanently gone — and can demonstrate that deliberate deletion occurred.

Practical Guidance

Before You Call Us

A few steps taken now can significantly improve what we're able to recover — and how well your evidence holds up in court.

01

Secure your device and accounts

If the other party has access to your phone, email, or social media, change your passwords and PINs now. Your own communications are evidence — and they need to be protected.

02

Don't delete anything

Even messages or posts that feel uncomfortable — do not delete them. Courts view deletion during proceedings very unfavourably, and we can often recover what you thought was gone.

03

Brief your solicitor first

We can liaise directly with your legal team to ensure the report addresses the specific issues in your matter. Coordinating early means we start in the right direction.

04

Note the key dates and events

Write down the incidents, conversations, or time periods you need to prove or disprove. A clear timeline helps us target the extraction and give you an accurate cost assessment upfront.

Common Questions

Family Court FAQ

01 Is digital forensic evidence accepted in the Family Court of Australia?
Yes. The Family Court and Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia regularly accept forensic reports from qualified digital forensic analysts. Our reports are structured to comply with Part 15.4 of the Federal Circuit and Family Court Rules and include the required expert declaration.
02 Can you access the other party's phone or accounts without consent?
No — and we won't. Accessing another party's device or accounts without authorisation or a court order is unlawful and would render evidence inadmissible. We work within the law. If a subpoena or court order is required, we can advise your solicitor on what to seek.
03 Can you work with my solicitor directly?
Yes — and we prefer it. Working with your legal team ensures the report addresses the specific issues in your proceedings and is structured to support your solicitor's strategy. We can also liaise with your barrister in preparation for hearing.
04 Can you recover messages that the other party deleted?
Often yes — particularly if the device is still available and hasn't been heavily used since deletion. We assess recovery likelihood before you commit to any cost. Even when data has been deleted, we can often demonstrate that deletion occurred, which can itself be significant.
05 What if I only need to verify something, not produce a court report?
We can conduct a private assessment and provide findings without a formal court report if that's all you need. Many clients want to understand what the evidence shows before deciding whether to proceed. A preliminary review can help you make that decision.
06 How long does an extraction and report take?
Mobile phone extractions are typically completed within 24–48 hours. A full forensic report takes 3–7 business days depending on the volume of relevant data and the complexity of the matter. Urgent timelines can be accommodated — contact us to discuss.

What Clients Say

Real outcomes from real people — names abbreviated to protect privacy.

“The extraction recovered two years of deleted WhatsApp messages — including conversations that directly contradicted what the other party had told the court. My solicitor said it changed the trajectory of the entire matter.”
