SPOUSAL SUPPORT AND COHABITATION

Why These Investigations Matter

Spousal support arrangements are often based on financial need, living circumstances, and the lifestyle of each party at the time of the agreement. When circumstances change — such as a new relationship, shared household, or unreported income — those changes may affect the fairness or legality of ongoing support. Reliable documentation can make a meaningful difference in modification requests, negotiations, or court proceedings.

​

Our Approach

Every case is unique, and we tailor our investigative strategy to your specific concerns. Depending on your needs, our work may include:

• Cohabitation verification to document whether two adults are living together

• Surveillance to observe daily routines, shared responsibilities, or overnight stays

• Documentation of lifestyle patterns inconsistent with reported income or need

• Verification of employment or under‑the‑table work

• Asset and property research to identify undisclosed holdings

• Photographic and written evidence collection

Throughout the investigation, we maintain strict confidentiality and communicate with you in a clear, professional, and supportive manner.

​

What You Can Expect

You will receive a detailed, organized report that presents factual findings — never assumptions or speculation. Our documentation is designed to support legal motions, modification requests, mediation, or court hearings. When needed, we can also provide testimony to ensure the evidence is properly understood.

​

Focused on Accuracy and Fairness

Spousal support and cohabitation investigations require discretion, neutrality, and a commitment to uncovering the truth. At Sly Fox Private Investigations, we focus on delivering accurate, objective information so you can make informed decisions with confidence.

Divorce Investigations – Frequently Asked Questions

​

Why would someone hire a private investigator for a spousal support case?

Spousal support disputes often involve questions about cohabitation, lifestyle changes, or unreported income. A private investigator provides objective, documented facts that help ensure support obligations are fair and based on accurate information.

​

What is considered “cohabitation” in an investigation?

Cohabitation typically refers to two adults living together in a way that resembles a shared household — such as frequent overnight stays, shared responsibilities, or combined resources. The exact definition varies by jurisdiction, but factual documentation can help clarify whether cohabitation is occurring.

​

What types of issues can a spousal support investigation address?

These investigations can help uncover or verify concerns such as cohabitation, hidden income, under‑the‑table employment, lifestyle patterns inconsistent with reported finances, or undisclosed assets that may impact support calculations.

​

Will the subject know they’re being investigated?

No. All work is conducted discreetly and confidentially. Your privacy — and the integrity of the investigation — are always our top priorities.

​

What methods do you use during a spousal support or cohabitation investigation?

Depending on your concerns, we may use surveillance, cohabitation verification, employment checks, asset research, lifestyle documentation, and background investigations. All methods are lawful and tailored to your specific situation.

​

Can your findings be used in court?

Yes. Our reports are factual, organized, and designed to withstand legal scrutiny. When needed, we can also provide testimony to ensure the evidence is clearly understood.

How long does a cohabitation or spousal support investigation take?

Timelines vary based on the complexity of the concerns, the subject’s routines, and the type of documentation needed. After discussing your case, we’ll provide a realistic estimate and keep you informed throughout the process.

​

What kind of evidence will I receive?

You’ll receive a clear, detailed report that may include photographs, timelines, documented observations, asset findings, and verification of employment or cohabitation. Everything is presented in a way that is easy to understand and ready for legal use if necessary.
