How Surveillance Supports Alimony & Lifestyle Verification Cases

Alimony disputes often come down to facts the other side would rather keep quiet: who is living in the house, whether someone is really out of work, and how money is actually being spent. Hubbard Investigations helps paying spouses and their family law attorneys document those facts with discreet, lawful surveillance, so the court decides on evidence instead of claims.

What alimony surveillance can document

  • Cohabitation or a new relationship. A partner who stays overnight most nights, a car parked at the home week after week, shared errands and routines that look like a household.
  • Work and income. Someone who says they can't work but leaves for a job every morning, runs a side business, or is paid in cash.
  • Lifestyle. Travel, new vehicles, boats, dining and spending that don't match a claim of financial hardship.
  • Health and ability. Activities that contradict claimed limitations, when a medical condition is part of the alimony argument.

Why the pattern matters

One overnight visit or one cash job rarely changes an alimony case. A documented pattern over time does. That's why we plan surveillance around specific days and times, keep detailed logs, and build a timeline that shows what is happening regularly, not just once. Time-stamped video and photos, activity logs and a professional written report give your attorney something concrete to work with, and we can testify about what we observed if the case requires it.

Florida alimony and cohabitation

Florida law allows a court to reduce or end alimony when the person receiving it is in a "supportive relationship," meaning they live with someone and share a life and finances in a way that looks like a marriage. Courts look at the whole picture, such as how long they have lived together, whether they present themselves as a couple, and whether they share expenses or property. Alimony can also be modified when there has been a substantial change in circumstances. Your family law attorney decides how to use the evidence; our job is to document the facts accurately and lawfully.

How we keep it lawful

Our investigators observe and record what can be seen from public places, in plain clothes and unmarked vehicles. We don't trespass and we don't record private conversations. Doing it by the book keeps the evidence usable and protects you.

Frequently asked questions

Can a private investigator prove cohabitation for an alimony case in Florida?

An investigator can document the facts that show it: who stays at the home, how often, for how long, and whether the two people live and spend like a couple. Whether that meets the legal standard is for your attorney and the court, but a documented pattern is usually what makes the argument.

What is a supportive relationship in Florida alimony law?

It's a relationship where the person receiving alimony lives with someone and shares a life and finances much like a married couple. If the court finds one exists, it can reduce or end the alimony. Your attorney can explain how it applies to your case.

How long does an alimony surveillance case take?

It depends on what needs to be shown. Cohabitation is usually documented over several days spread across a few weeks, because the point is to show a pattern. We plan around the days that matter most to keep hours down.

Do you work with family law attorneys?

Yes, regularly. Many of our alimony cases come through attorneys, and we deliver reports in a format they can use. You can also call us directly.

How soon can you start?

Often the same day. Call 727-495-6565 any time. Same-day and after-hours requests can carry an emergency fee, which we tell you about up front, before any work begins.
