Polygraph and Lie Detection Services for Interpersonal Relationships

In any relationship, trust is the foundation that holds everything together. And I’m not just talking about romantic relationships—this applies to families and other personal connections, too.

When that trust breaks down, whether due to suspicions of infidelity, hidden finances, false accusations, or unresolved conflicts, the damage can be deep and lasting.

As The Polygraph Examiner, I specialize in helping people navigate these difficult moments with clarity and confidence. I do this through professional polygraph services with accurate and unbiased answers so you can get the clarity you need, begin to rebuild trust, restore communication, and move forward in your relationship, whatever its nature.

Read on to explore some of the real-world situations where a lie detector test for relationship issues, including family lie detector tests, can make a great difference. I will also explain how I can support you every step of the way.

Common Relationship Conflicts

Trust issues aren’t always about cheating. These are some of the most common reasons clients request a relationship polygraph:

Infidelity Accusations

Suspicions of infidelity can create immense tension and insecurity. The betrayed partner may struggle with doubts and need reassurance to move forward.

Financial Dishonesty

Financial transparency is crucial—at home and at work. Discovering hidden debts, secret accounts, business theft, or irresponsible spending can erode trust and lead to significant conflicts.

Past Trauma or Addiction

If one partner has experienced past trauma or struggles with addiction, the other may question their honesty and fear a relapse or hidden behavior. Thankfully, my lie detector tests for relationship issues cover this, too.

Communication Breakdown

Misunderstandings, secrets, or a lack of open communication can breed mistrust. Honest and transparent communication becomes essential to bridge the gap.

Broken Promises

Repeatedly breaking promises, whether big or small, can create doubts about a person’s integrity and sincerity.

Why Try a Polygraph for Relationship Conflicts?

My Expertise

As a licensed, certified, and highly trained polygraph examiner, I utilize a specialized polygraph chair equipped with multiple motion sensors to ensure the accuracy of my tests, making it impossible for individuals to “beat” it. You’ll get truth and accuracy.

I’m licensed by the NC Private Protective Services Board and the SC Law Enforcement Division. There’s no licensing board in Georgia, so if you’re looking for professionalism and accuracy in the region, I’m the one you can trust.

My Objective

My goal with each lie detector test is to get the truth—by verifying and proving honesty or providing the catalyst for transparency. Families, coworkers, neighbors, and every relationship in between all have unique dynamics, but they share a need for honesty to function at their best.

Accuracy and Professional Standards

A lie detector test for relationship or family conflicts is only as good as the standards behind it. Here is what backs up every exam I conduct:

  • Licensed by the North Carolina Private Protective Services Board and the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division
  • Every exam is scored using American Polygraph Association standard methods
  • The same computerized polygraph instruments used by federal agencies like the FBI, Secret Service, and CIA
  • Results are still hand-scored in addition to computer analysis, since context matters and machines alone can miss it
  • A specialized polygraph chair with multiple motion sensors, so a relationship polygraph cannot be physically beaten
  • Prior member of the American Polygraph Association, and an active member of the North Carolina and South Carolina Polygraph Associations

These standards exist for one reason: so the results of your family lie detector test hold up, whether you’re using them to rebuild trust or make a hard decision.

When Accuracy Matters Most, Call for a Private Consultation: (800) 497-9305

How Polygraph Testing Helps Resolve Relationship Conflicts

A lie detector test for relationship concerns offers more than just raw truth. It can also be a path to resolution. Here’s how:

For situations involving parents, siblings, or extended family members, a lie detector test for those relationships can be an effective tool to resolve long-standing disputes or verify sensitive claims.

Objective Results
I use medical-grade polygraph instruments to measure physiological responses, following American Polygraph Association-approved methods.
Closure and Clarity
A relationship polygraph provides clear, unbiased data, allowing couples or family members to move forward with confidence.
Proving Honesty
When someone is wrongly accused, a polygraph offers the chance to demonstrate truthfulness and restore trust.

Common Questions Before You Call

Does this only work for cheating?

No. I administer lie detector tests for financial disputes, broken promises, family conflicts, and other relationship issues, not only suspected infidelity.

Is this only for couples?

No. Family members, coworkers, and other relationships can potentially benefit from a relationship polygraph as well.

Will this stay private?

Yes. Confidentiality is guaranteed and required under state licensing rules, not just my personal policy.

What if I'm still not sure this is the right step?

That’s exactly what the free phone consultation is for: no pressure, just clarity on your options.

Where do I start! I had an exceptional experience with my polygraph examiner Mr. Andrew Goldstein from the moment I arrived, he treated me with professionalism, respect, and kindness. Mr. Andrew took the time to thoroughly explain the process, answered all of my questions, and made sure I felt comfortable before the examination began. Mr. Goldstein , unbiased, and professional demeanor helped put me at ease during what was a very stressful experience. Throughout the examination he demonstrated integrity, attention to detail, and a genuine commitment to conducting a fair and accurate evaluation. I drove 2 1/2 hours from Atlanta to Augusta for his professional expertise. I truly appreciated his honesty, patience, and the way everything was handled with the highest level of professionalism. I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and compassionate polygraph examiner. Thank you for making the process clear, respectful, and as comfortable as possible Mr. Andrew Goldstein
Response from the owner:Thank you for such a thoughtful review of my lie detection services. I have hundreds of reviews but nothing similar to this review. All I do is treat people the same way I would want to be treated under the circumstances my clients are under.

I hope this polygraph examination review helps people that have a personal issue that needs to be rectified have the knowledge they can call me anytime to schedual a free consultation to see how I can help rectify their issue.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Andrew. He is professional and kind. I was nervous as heck even though I knew I had nothing to hide. Andrew made the process as stress free as possible. I never imagined I would need this sort of service but I'm very happy I called him. Initially, my only intent was to show my family I had done nothing wrong. When things snowballed out of proportion, I showed the polygraph report to the investigator and their demeanor changed completely (for the better) when they saw I had sought out a reputable polygraph examiner to show my truthfulness. When I sought legal counsel from a highly recommended attorney, he actually required a polygraph before he would represent me. I showed him the report from Andrew and all was good. I'm very happy to say now that I have been cleared and no charges were ever brought. To a large degree, I have Andrew to thank for that. - Thank You Andrew!
Response from the owner:I appreciate you taking your time to write such a thoughtful review for my lie detection services. I am glad to hear that this polygraph helped clear your name in that case with the investigator.

My boyfriend has been accusing me of cheating for over a year. I took the “eye detect “ test last October with a different examiner in a different state and I failed. I was unaware that the test was illegal in some states. I knew I was telling the truth so I wanted to take a test that was more reliable. My boyfriend found Andrew online and we called him probably 5 times asking questions and he was very nice and answered them all. Once we were both comfortable we set an appointment. Andrew gave me instructions to ensure I got a good night sleep and was hydrated. I explained to him that I have a medical condition called hyperhydrosis and my hands sweat a lot even when I’m not nervous. I was comfortable even tho the idea of being strapped to a chair and having to stay still and answer questions that would make or break my relationship. Of course that would make anyone nervous. Andrew answered all of my questions and made me feel comfortable the entire time. Thank you so much Andrew now we can move forward without the accusations and now the truth is clear. I would recommend this to anyone questioning or being questioned about being faithful. Don’t think you will beat his test he has technology which makes it virtually impossible. If you want the truth CALL ANDREW!!
Response from the owner:All I am there to do is give someone to safe place to be honest or approve they have been honest. I more than appreciate you take me your time to tell people you are a whole story with this lie detection review it let's people know that most relationships have struggles end they are not alone. You are correct. I am the only private examiner in our region that travels with a real polygraph chair with multiple motions censors, so my clients do not get accused of Google and how to beat a polygraph test and get away with it, it is physically impossible with my process end procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a polygraph test prove if my partner is cheating?

Yes it can.

How accurate is an infidelity lie detector test?

Accuracy depends on two things: proper technique and how carefully the lie detector questions are written and administered. When both are right, it’s extremely solid, with rates that are well above the industry average. I use the same computerized instruments that the federal agencies use, but I still score by hand. Computers don’t see context, and context matters. I’d rather take five extra minutes to confirm a reading than rush through and miss something subtle.

What questions can be asked in an infidelity exam?

Pretty much anything that can be answered “yes” or “no” and ties to a specific event. Did you meet someone privately? Did you have sexual contact? Did you send certain messages? Those work well in an infidelity lie detector test. Feelings such as love don’t work since they can’t be measured. We usually talk it out first until both sides agree that the wording makes sense.

Do you offer free or low-cost cheating polygraph tests?

I can’t offer free exams, but I do offer free phone consultations. That’s where we talk about what’s going on, how the test works, and what it’ll cost. The equipment, analysis time, and security time make “cheap” polygraph testing risky. I’d rather keep the quality consistent. You’ll know the total price before anything is booked, and there is never any pressure to continue.

Can someone pass a polygraph while lying?

I use a real polygraph chair with multiple motion sensors so my clients do not get accused of beating a polygraph test and get away with it.

How do I know the other person won't trick it?

People ask that all the time, especially after reading about tricks online. Those so-called methods are easy to spot because they create patterns that do not look natural. If someone tries to interfere with the process, it shows up pretty quickly during the exam. And since the results are supposed to be clean, that gets addressed right away rather than ignored. There will be no tricks.

What if it happened years ago?

The timing does not cancel out the issue. What matters is whether the person is telling the truth about it now. If the event still matters and the question is clear, it can still be tested even if it happened a long time ago. In the exam, I’m measuring how the person responds when answering a direct question about that event today.

What if the issue involves something online, not in person?

Private messages, hidden accounts, dating apps, and deleted conversations can all be covered if those are real concerns. The polygraph questions can be written around specific behavior so the test stays focused on what actually happened.

How much does a lie detector test for relationship issues cost?

There isn’t a one-size-fits-all price. The location, the number of questions, and whether more than one person is involved all change the setup time. Once we talk through the details, I’ll give you a direct quote that covers everything, from exam to results, with no hidden extras later. Prices for my services typically average $1,200.

How long does the process take?

Between the meeting, paperwork, exam and results, it takes about 2 hours.

Will both people need to be present?

Not necessarily.

Are the results kept private?

Yes, polygraph results are completely confidential. That’s written into state licensing rules, not just my policy.

Can nervousness make me fail?

No. Everyone’s nervous; that’s normal. I record your baseline reactions first, before any sensitive questions, so I can see what “nervous” looks like for you. The charts only matter when that pattern changes during a deceptive answer. Most honest people stay nervous the whole time and still pass cleanly.

Ready to Decide What's Next?

At this point, you likely know whether a lie detector test for relationship or family concerns makes sense for your situation. A few signs it’s time to make the call:

  • The uncertainty keeps resurfacing, no matter how many conversations you’ve had
  • You want a neutral, fact-based answer rather than more back-and-forth
  • Everyone involved wants a clear resolution so you can move forward, together or separately

Whatever you decide, you don’t have to figure it out alone. A free phone consultation is a low-pressure way to talk through your specific situation before committing to anything.
