Divorce Investigation
Prove cohabitation, undisclosed income, and lifestyle inconsistencies during separation and divorce.
Divorce investigation tests financial and lifestyle claims in separation files: hidden income, undisclosed businesses, secret cohabitation, and spending that contradicts sworn disclosure. Investigations Plus builds field and public-record evidence Ontario family lawyers can use in support motions, equalization, and spousal support arguments. Parenting-only questions belong on our child custody investigation page.
When this service is the right file
- Financial disclosure understates income but lifestyle suggests otherwise.
- You suspect cohabitation that would change spousal support.
- Cash work, side businesses, or crypto activity may not appear on Form 13.
- Property, vehicles, or companies appear registered to relatives or nominees.
- Counsel needs cohabitation or employment pattern evidence before a motion date.
How the investigation is done
We start from disclosure and the legal theory your lawyer provides. Surveillance may document cohabitation patterns. Asset tracing follows corporate filings, property, and visible spending. Open-source research may show employment or lifestyle posts that conflict with sworn statements. We report facts; your lawyer applies the Family Law Act and support guidelines.
What you receive
- Cohabitation or lifestyle logs with dates
- Public-record asset and corporate trace summaries
- Lawful photographs and video
- Chronology suitable for affidavit use
Legal and ethical limits
Bank records and private account detail usually require court orders. We tell you when investigation ends and litigation discovery must begin. Surveillance must respect privacy and harassment law.
Who typically retains this work
Spouses and counsel in contested divorce and separation files. Insurers and employers are not the audience for this page.
