A civil investigation is an investigation related to a civil matter. A civil matter is a court action (or pending court action) that is not criminal in nature.

An investigation related to the care of a child is a civil investigation if the opposing parent is trying to prove that their ex-spouse is not taking good care of the child.

A criminal investigation would be if the police were investigating a complaint of child abuse which resulted in the harm, or potential harm, of the child.

To put it simply, a civil investigation is any investigation that is not an investigation of a crime.
