Alimony Modification and Termination
O'Rourke Investigative Associates conducts alimony reduction investigations. The provisions regarding alimony are normally incorporated into the final judgment of dissolution of marriage. Once this happens, these provisions can only be altered where there has been a "substantial and material change in circumstances." Depending on the terms of your divorce settlement agreement, modification or elimination of spousal support can occur when the party receiving the alimony support payments remarries, or begins cohabitating with a new boyfriend or girlfriend. O'Rourke Investigative
Associates,Inc. can work in conjunction with your family law attorney or independently to get the evidence you need to support your alimony modification request to the courts.
Typically surveillance is conducted to determine when a paramours vehicle is present between 11pm and 1am. The investigator will then return at 6am and film the paramour departing for work. The court will usually acept a week or two of film to modify your alimony order. We also conduct interviews, mail carrier verification, public utility inquiries, and public record searches to tie the paramour to the residence. Additionally, the court will require they "hold themselves out as a couple". Additional surveillance depicting a public display of affection will usually suffice.
