Alimony and Cohabitation Investigations
Alimony, also known as spousal support, is often awarded during or after divorce proceedings to help maintain financial stability for the lower-earning spouse. However, alimony arrangements can become complex if the recipient begins living with a new partner. In these cases, proving cohabitation is critical, as it can lead to adjustments or termination of alimony payments. At Atlas Investigations, we specialize in cohabitation investigations, providing the evidence needed to protect your financial interests.
What Alimony Cases Involve
Alimony cases involve financial arrangements in which one spouse provides ongoing support to the other after a divorce. While these arrangements are designed to ensure fairness, they can be revisited if the recipient’s circumstances change—particularly if they enter into a new relationship and begin cohabiting with someone. Proving cohabitation in such cases can be challenging, as it requires clear, concrete evidence that demonstrates more than just casual dating or occasional visits. Cohabitation implies that the alimony recipient and their new partner are living together in a way that reflects a long-term relationship or marriage-like situation.
How We Can Help Prove Cohabitation
Our private investigative agency understands the complexities of alimony cases and the importance of proving cohabitation in a thorough and professional manner. Here’s how we can assist:
- Surveillance: We conduct discreet and effective surveillance to document the living situation of the alimony recipient. Our investigators gather photo and video evidence of daily activities, such as overnight stays, shared financial responsibilities, and interactions that suggest a live-in relationship.
- Background Checks: We perform in-depth background checks to uncover important details about the new partner, such as employment, financial history, or property ownership. This information can help confirm that cohabitation is taking place and may provide additional context for legal proceedings.
- Social Media Monitoring: In today’s digital world, social media can provide key insights into someone’s personal life. We monitor public online activity to gather supporting evidence that may show the alimony recipient and their partner are living together or behaving in a way that contradicts the terms of their spousal support arrangement.
- Witness Interviews: Our investigators also conduct interviews with neighbors, landlords, or other individuals who may have firsthand knowledge of the alimony recipient’s living arrangements. These interviews can provide crucial testimony to strengthen your case.
Did you know?
Proving cohabitation is often key to adjusting or terminating alimony payments, and this requires solid, verifiable evidence. Our private investigators use a combination of surveillance, background checks, and investigative techniques to gather the necessary proof for your case. For example, surveillance might reveal patterns of behavior such as the new partner regularly staying overnight, sharing household responsibilities, or being seen together in public frequently. This kind of documentation—whether it’s photographs or video evidence—can be pivotal in demonstrating that cohabitation is occurring.
Our experienced investigators approach every case with professionalism, confidentiality, and attention to detail, ensuring you have the strongest possible evidence to present in court. Whether it’s capturing key moments on video or identifying shared financial responsibilities through public records, we provide thorough, reliable support to help you protect your financial interests.
