Cohabitation & Alimony Investigation

Cohabitation & Alimony Investigation in Florida

Cohabitation investigations help determine whether a former spouse is in a supportive relationship under Florida Statute §61.14. If the facts meet that standard, alimony may be reduced or terminated. We gather objective evidence your attorney can present clearly in court.

Understanding Florida's Supportive Relationship Law

Florida courts focus on economic reality, not labels. A couple does not need to be married for the relationship to affect alimony.

Judges typically examine living patterns, shared expenses, pooled resources, and the practical support each person provides. Our role is to document those patterns over time instead of relying on isolated events.

What We Document in Cohabitation Cases

Each case is built around factors family courts repeatedly review: overnight residency patterns, shared routines, financial overlap, and public presentation as a couple.

We collect evidence through lawful surveillance, records research, social media review, and corroborating witness information when available.

Surveillance for Cohabitation Cases

Surveillance often provides the clearest timeline in these matters. We track arrivals, departures, overnight stays, and recurring activity at the residence.

Timestamped photo and video documentation helps show ongoing behavior instead of one-time contact.

How We Build a Court-Ready Record

Strong petitions are based on consistency. We plan investigations in phases so your legal team can show duration, frequency, and economic interdependence.

We coordinate with counsel on scope and timing so the evidence aligns with the issues most likely to matter at hearing.

Financial Indicators Courts Consider

In parallel with surveillance, we review available records that may show shared finances or linked living arrangements.

Depending on the facts, this can include property and vehicle records, address history, and open-source indicators of shared spending or travel.
