Cohabitation Surveillance in Alimony Disputes

If you’re paying alimony and believe your ex-spouse is living with a new partner, you may have legal grounds to reduce or terminate those payments. But proving cohabitation can be difficult—especially without professional help.

At New York Investigations, we specialize in cohabitation surveillance for alimony disputes. We gather clear, court-admissible evidence to help you challenge unjust spousal support and protect your financial future.

When Alimony Should Be Re-Evaluated

Many divorce agreements include a clause that allows for modification or termination of alimony if the recipient begins living with a new partner. However, without solid proof, courts are unlikely to act.

Suspicious behaviors may include:

  • Your ex spending most nights at another residence

  • A new partner frequently staying over or moving in

  • Shared use of vehicles or utilities

  • Joint social or financial activities suggesting a domestic relationship

You may know something is going on—but to take legal action, you need proof. That’s where we come in.

How Cohabitation Surveillance Works

At New York Investigations, we approach every case with professionalism, sensitivity, and legal precision. Our goal is to deliver clear, credible evidence that can withstand legal scrutiny and support your case in court.

1. Confidential Consultation

We start with a private discussion about your current alimony order, your ex-spouse’s behavior, and any patterns or suspicions you’ve observed. We’ll assess the situation and build a strategy around your specific goals.

2. Tailored Surveillance Plan

Our team creates a customized surveillance plan based on the subject’s schedule, lifestyle, and location. We may monitor:

  • Overnight stays

  • Property access and key usage

  • Shared routines like commuting, grocery shopping, or childcare

  • Interactions that demonstrate a live-in relationship

3. Discreet Observation and Evidence Gathering

We operate discreetly and professionally to ensure the subject remains unaware. Our methods may include:

  • Video and photo surveillance

  • Time-stamped logs of comings and goings

  • Vehicle and license plate tracking

  • Documentation of shared activities or resources

All evidence is gathered within the boundaries of New York law and can be presented in family court or settlement negotiations.

4. Comprehensive Reporting

At the end of the investigation, we deliver a clear, detailed report outlining our findings—along with visual evidence and written documentation. If necessary, our investigators can testify in court to support your claim.
