If you are currently paying alimony to a former spouse to assist with housing or living expenses, you may have concerns about whether that individual is now sharing their residence with another person. In situations where a new partner is effectively contributing to or benefiting from the household, it may be appropriate to have the circumstances reviewed by your attorney.
At Francis & Associates, a licensed private investigation agency based in Las Vegas, Nevada, we conduct cohabitation investigations throughout Clark County, including Henderson, Summerlin, Laughlin, and Pahrump. These investigations are designed to document factual activity and determine whether observable patterns are consistent with a shared living arrangement.
What Is a Cohabitation Investigation?
A cohabitation investigation focuses on identifying whether two individuals appear to be residing together in a consistent, domestic setting. This is not based on assumptions or isolated observations, but rather on documented patterns over time.
Our investigative approach may include:
- Discreet surveillance of the residence to document activity patterns
- Observation of recurring individuals and vehicles
- Video and photographic documentation of arrivals, departures, and duration of stays
- Publicly available background and social media review
- Witness canvassing, when appropriate and lawful
The objective is to gather information that may assist your attorney in evaluating whether further legal action is appropriate.
Documentation and Use of Findings
All investigative activities conducted by Francis & Associates are performed in compliance with Nevada law and professional standards. The information obtained is documented in a clear, organized format suitable for attorney review and, if applicable, potential court use.
Our findings may assist legal counsel in matters involving:
- Review or modification of spousal support
- Evaluation of compliance with divorce agreements
- Consideration of custody or visitation factors
Why Consider a Cohabitation Investigation?
In some cases, continued financial support may no longer reflect the current living situation of a former spouse. Additionally, where children are involved, understanding who is regularly present in the household may be relevant to evaluating their environment.
A professionally conducted investigation provides objective documentation, allowing your attorney to assess the situation based on verifiable information rather than speculation.
