Take your new address off the sites an ex could search.
A custody dispute pulls your address back into public view — new home, new filings, updated registrations — and people-search sites re-list it within weeks. You can't hold back what the court needs or what your attorney has to disclose. But you can take down the publicly searchable copy anyone can pull up. Delist removes your personal information from the internet and keeps re-filing when a broker puts it back.

Every move, filing, and re-registration during a custody case is a public record. Data brokers are built to find those records and aggregate them, and they do it within weeks. Here's where your new address leaks back into public view.
Your new address is searchable within weeks of moving out
New lease, license update, voter re-registration, utilities — each one feeds broker pipelines. Soon after you move, people-search sites list your current location, often right next to your old household and a co-parent's name.
The court file and the public copy are two different things
Custody filings and the address you disclose in the case are legal records — they stay in the court system, and that's between you, your attorney, and the court. The problem is the second copy: the version brokers rebuild from public records and publish for anyone to search. That copy is the one we take down.
An ex already knows your history — the new details are what's exposed
A former partner knows your name, your relatives, where you used to live. What a custody dispute changes is your new address and current phone, and a people-search site can hand those over in a couple of clicks. That part you can control — you can hide your address from an ex's casual search by clearing the public listings.
Household links tie you to your co-parent and kids
Brokers connect records by shared address and family relationship. Your listing names a co-parent and household members as "associated people," and their listings can point back to you. Co-parenting privacy protection means cutting those public links, not just your own single record.

Audit your exposure
We scan the web for every name variation, both old and new addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses. You'll see exactly which sites hold your information and what they've linked to your current location.
File removals across the brokers
We submit opt-outs for every listing we find, covering current and former names. Where a listing ties you to a co-parent or household member, we work to break the public "associated people" link too.
Verify and follow up
We verify each removal after it processes. When a broker stalls or ignores the request, we escalate — and when a listing reappears, we re-file.
Keep watching
Updated registrations and data-source refreshes generate new listings, especially while a case is active. We detect the reappearances and re-file removals — so your new location stays off, not just for the first round but every time it comes back.
