A co-habitation surveillance investigation is a service in which licensed investigators monitor and collect evidence that someone who is receiving alimony may be living with a romantic partner in a manner that the court would deem a “cohabitated relationship.” This evidence can include shared living arrangements, overnight stays, financial interdependence, or public behavior that indicates an intimate relationship.
Under North Carolina Law (General Statute § 50-16.9), alimony may be suspended or terminated if the recipient is cohabitating with a romantic partner in a mutually supportive and intimate relationship. Evidence of co-habitation can lead to the reduction or end of spousal support payments.
We gather HD video & photographic evidence, background documentation, digital evidence (such as shared finances, social-media activity, and lease or property records), and testimony if needed in court.
Judges consider things like joint bank or utility accounts, shared responsibility for rent or mortgage, frequent overnight stays, public recognition of the relationship, shared household tasks, and intertwined finances. Even if two people maintain separate residences, consistent evidence of these factors can meet the legal standard.
Yes—it is possible. If sufficient evidence is collected that meets the legal criteria, a court may reduce or terminate alimony payments. The evidence must be “court-admissible,” and Prieyes, Inc. specializes in providing that.
The timeline depends on the complexity: the extent of surveillance needed, how much evidence is already available, the patterns of behavior, and how often key indicators occur (overnight stays, joint errands, etc.). It may take several days to weeks to collect enough evidence for a strong legal case. (Exact durations would be quoted after a consultation.)
Yes. Prieyes, Inc. provides photographic/video evidence, sworn testimony, and documentation that’s structured to be considered admissible in North Carolina courts. Reports are chronological, timestamped, and often include multiple forms of corroboration.
In such cases, investigative surveillance, digital corroboration (shared financial accounts, social-media posts), and background documentation can provide the proof the court needs. Prieyes’ investigators look for both physical behavior (overnight stays, shared addresses, visitors, etc.) and financial or digital ties to build a strong case.
