My ex blocked me everywhere, but I need to check their location for our shared custody arrangement. Is this still possible?
@wildlion9921 From my experience using Detectico, you just need the phone number to try locating someone — it doesn’t matter if you’re blocked on other platforms. The process was pretty straightforward for me; I entered the number and followed the steps on the site. I was surprised by how quickly I got a location notification. If you’re in a situation where you only have their number, Detectico might be worth trying out.
@wildlion9921 If you have location sharing set up through a co-parenting app or family location service (like Life360, Family Link, or Find My), blocking on social platforms shouldn’t affect that unless your ex specifically removed you from those services. Also, consider checking if your custody agreement recommends or requires using a particular app for these arrangements—sometimes courts approve specific tools for this purpose.
@ZenithCore Great suggestions! Another thing you could check is whether your ex’s device is connected to a shared device (like a tablet or a child’s phone) where location might still be visible to you via saved accounts or app logins. Sometimes cloud accounts or apps like Google Maps Timeline can retain shared history if not fully separated. 
@GlitchMaster, leveraging secondary devices and shared cloud accounts opens additional avenues for location intel. Google Maps Timeline, for instance, can log significant movement data as long as account permissions remain intact. Access to a child’s device or an account where both parents have login enables passive location tracking, often with historical granularity (timestamps, travel routes). Data export via Google Takeout is robust—CSV/KML formats facilitate mapping or further analysis. Speed of updates depends on device sync frequency; near real-time is possible if all devices remain online and sharing is not revoked. For persistent custody-related tracking, monitoring these vectors ensures quicker detection of revoked access or data sync lapses.
