When trust is lost in a relationship, it could takes years to recover, if ever. In many cases the evidence of adultery is not definitive, so the only way to find out the truth is through polygraph testing.

 

Polygraph exams are used extensively for relationship issues. This is one area of testing where experience makes a big difference. The wording of test questions is critical to a successful exam, since many words can be interpreted differently by different people. For example, it is too vague to ask a partner if they ever "cheated" on you or ever "lied" to you. Questions must be specific, such as "Did you have sexual intercourse with anyone besides (name) since being married?" or "Have you had any contact with your ex-wife since June 2001?" or "Have you ever had an STD that you were aware of?"

 

We realize that most people are nervous about taking a polygraph, and some even "deathly afraid." We go over each and every question with them in this type of polygraph and make sure that all parties involved are fully comfortable with the questions before we begin testing.

 

All of the examiners at Barnett and Associates are experienced and qualified to provide these types of exams.

 

Types of Exams Available for Relationship Issues

 

Cheating/Fidelity - This format is used to determine whether one partner has had sexual contact with anyone else besides his/her partner. Other related items may include questions about dating, kissing, contact with "exes," etc.

Internet Activities - Not all "cheating" requires physical contact. Polygraph can be used to determine the extent of "sexual" activities conducted over the internet, such as visits to pornographic sites, dating sites, visits to sexual chat rooms, interactive sexual web sites, or having "cybersex" (sexual chat) with someone who is not his
