I was given legal advice to hire a private investigator, and would be interested in people's thoughts. I don't cherish the idea of doing this.
Background: Going through a spousal support review. Ex has falsified documents saying she lives alone. She has lived with new boyfriend for 1.5 years. Re-partnering is grounds for SS reduction and even termination, according to my lawyer. I have asked my lawyer how I go about proving she is lying. Response: hire a PI for two weeks.
I have no problem with her new partner. He seems nice and is good with the kids. But I am worried about the obvious negative (sleaze/snoop) perception and the considerable cost to do this. I don't know how else to reliably prove this cohabitation. The lawyer says getting affidavits from neighbours will not likely work, and I have not found a mailing address.
Should I hire a PI? Thoughts welcome.
