Here at Private Investigators Manchester, we are often asked to undertake surveillance to prove cohabitation. There is a number of reasons why individuals may require the services of a private investigator this could be for a number of reasons such as for divorce proceedings or for non-payment of child support.
Why would I need to conduct surveillance?
Surveillance can be utilised during any matrimonial disputes. Utilising the services of a professional to undertake this provides you with a full written report and supporting photographs. Which you can then provide to your solicitor or to the CSA. In most divorce cases, if you believe your partner to be cohabiting with a third party, the partner would need to provide evidence that they are cohabitating with someone else and gathering evidence of this will help support your case.
How many sessions of surveillance do I need to do?
In most cases, a solicitor would usually advise anything from 3 to 5 sessions. This is required to prove cohabitation. However, every solicitor and every case is unique. We would always suggest that our clients gain legal advice. Especially from their legal representative to check how many sessions they believe would be sufficient for your case.
How do I prove cohabitation?
The only way to prove cohabitation is to undertake surveillance. Gather photographic evidence that the individual is in fact living elsewhere when they are stating to the courts that they are living alone. Stating they are not in a relationship. We talked above about how many sessions are usually recommended in many cases we have worked on.
