Jersey City, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/03/2019 -- When a married couple divorces, a common result is court-ordered alimony payments one ex-spouse must make to the other to guarantee that the dependent ex-spouse is not left at an unfair disadvantage after the divorce. Sometimes, the dependent ex-spouse does not require the alimony payments or a portion of those payments to maintain their living and financial situation due to cohabitation with an unrelated partner. Cowan Investigations has provided top alimony investigators in Monmouth County, NJ, in order to prove cohabitation in previously-dependent ex-spouses enabling the termination or reduction of alimony payments.
In cohabitation scenarios, the alimony recipient engages in a supportive relationship with another individual, which eliminates the need for alimony; however, many times, the recipient hides that information from the provider and continues to collect alimony. In these situations, it is necessary to hire a private investigator to collect evidence of cohabitation. Some evidence could include shared financial and household responsibilities, living together and engaging in an intimate, supportive relationship.
In the past, evidence of the recipient and the new partner living together was necessary to prove cohabitation in New Jersey. Since 2014, however, the Alimony Law in NJ allows that, as long as the defense of the alimony provider can prove, among other elements, a supportive relationship as well as frequent overnights between the payee and the unrelated partner, it is possible to win alimony termination or modification in court. At Cowan Investigations, the alimony and background investigators in Bergen County, NJ, can collect the necessary evidence of cohabitation legally so that all evidence is admissible in court, present the materials, and, in most cases, have the court reconsider the terms of alimony obligations.
