Undercover Surveillance Service
North Carolina

If you believe an ex-spouse is living with a new partner and still collecting alimony, our professional cohabitation surveillance investigators can supply the iron-clad proof a North Carolina court requires to reduce or terminate spousal support. Private Eyes of North Carolina has provided court-admissible video, photographic evidence, and sworn testimony in alimony fraud cases since 1999 Nationwide.

Why Co-Habitation Evidence Matters

Under North Carolina General Statute § 50-16.9, a judge may suspend or end alimony when the recipient “cohabitates” with a romantic partner in a mutually supportive, intimate relationship. Today, that definition extends far beyond sharing one address; intertwined finances, overnight stays, joint vacations, and social-media declarations can all meet the statutory test. Solid documentation can save payors thousands of dollars each year.
We also specialize in Hard to Locate, Missing Persons for Alimony and Child Support, also known as Spousal Support. Alimony, which is paid above child support, helps the low-earning spouse reach their daily living expenses, but some people try to take advantage of the law.
If you suspect your ex-spouse is committing spousal support fraud and, or is cohabitating, our experience in these types of private investigations can help. Our team of veteran private investigators can collect HD Video, background documentation, and will provide you with court admissible evidence to help reduce or in many cases can even provide proof that may stop alimony payments all together.
Until recently, reducing or stopping alimony payments was difficult. But a new bill was passed differing from state to state however it is a bill that implemented long-overdue changes to the Alimony Law that leveled the playing field as it relates to cohabitation. As for the new law, even if the one receiving alimony is in a relationship with someone who maintains a separate residence, it is still possible to prove cohabitation and revoke the alimony you have paid as a violation of the divorce agreement.

Indicators Judges Use to Confirm Co-Habitation

  • Combined or jointly managed bank, credit-card, or utility accounts
  • Shared responsibility for rent, mortgage, or household expenses
  • Frequent overnight stays and shared travel itineraries
  • Public recognition of the relationship by friends and family
  • Division of household chores and child-care duties
  • “Palimony” promises or written agreements of mutual support

Even if the couple maintains nominally separate residences, consistent evidence of these factors can satisfy the court—and stop alimony.
