Alimony Reduction

Sometimes, spouses who are awarded alimony payments tend to misuse it. Such people will use alimony or support payments for purposes other than what was intended. If you suspect that your former spouse or partner is abusing alimony payment, you have the right to investigate and uncover the truth. We can assist you with alimony investigations to show “change of circumstances” which can make the court reconsider alimony. Armed with adequate proof, your attorney can appeal for a reduction or termination.

Additionally we can conduct a trash pull if necessary, this is the actual taking of the payee’s trash from the curb at the residence. The courts have upheld that the act of placing the trash at the curb for garbage pick-up is considered an act of abandonment so it is legal to take the trash to investigate. Our company then examines in depth each piece of paper or any other helpful evidence obtained for the purpose of determining your ex's lifestyle and spending habits.

Cohabitation Investigations

Co-habitation is one of the major grounds for alimony reduction or termination. As the aggrieved spouse, you can petition the court to either reduce or terminate alimony once you show sufficient proof of change of circumstances. Our alimony investigators can take up your case and do a thorough and conclusive investigation to have your alimony reduced or terminated. Through our investigations, we can assist you to obtain video evidence that will influence the court’s ruling in your favor. Some of the things that the court will be interested in finding out include:
1. The establishment of a common residence.
2. A long term intimate or romantic involvement.
3. Any shared assets or common bank accounts.
4. Joint contribution to household expenses.
5. The recognition of the relationship by the community.
