Court-Admissible Evidence For Maintenance Proceedings

The qualified private detectives of Kurtz Detective Agency Kiel and Schleswig-Holstein are experienced maintenance investigators. If you have doubts regarding the maintenance information provided by your ex-partner, we will review his or her income and financial circumstances, in particular with regard to suspected undisclosed employment or a new relationship comparable to marriage: +49 431 3057 0053.

Resourcefulness in Concealing Assets

The concealment tactics employed by maintenance recipients and maintenance payers sometimes assume grotesque proportions. An example from the professional practice of our Kiel private detective agency: No sooner had the separation taken place than a later target person devised the following chain of events:

 

1. The motor vehicle suddenly became a total write-off due to a self-inflicted road traffic accident.
2. The grandfather was seriously injured in the accident and has since required care.
3. The jointly saved funds had to be used for the grandfather’s placement in a care home.
4. The coin collection was sold in order to purchase a new car, as otherwise commuting to work would no longer have been possible.
5. Employment had to be given up because the grandfather now had to be cared for.

 

Of course, most fabricated stories are far more plausible and less easily verifiable than the above real example, which was exposed simply by making an enquiry with the police regarding the alleged accident. If, for whatever reason, you have the feeling that your ex is telling you tall stories, we recommend having the truthfulness of the statements made verified by our experienced private detectives from Kiel (kontakt@kurtz-detektei-kiel.de).

 

Experience shows that many suspects not only conceal income but also remove valuables and cash or savings deposits or transfer them, backdated, to third parties in order to continue financing a comfortable lifestyle at the expense of their ex-partners.

Proof of False Income Statements

At times, the statements made by the parties involved are similarly spectacular when it comes to disclosing their own income: Suddenly, the salary shrinks because full-time employment has allegedly become part-time work or because, due to operational cost-cutting measures, the person has supposedly become entirely unemployed. Remarkably often, maintenance payers and maintenance recipients also engage in undeclared work so that the wages are not taken into account in the maintenance calculation. Such concealed employment is frequently carried out in another city in order to avoid the risk of being discovered by chance by the ex-partner or by mutual acquaintances while working.

 

Our IHK-certified detectives from Kiel conduct surveillance of the suspicious person throughout Schleswig-Holstein and, if required, nationwide and worldwide, in order to document any undisclosed activities in a manner admissible in court. In this context, the actual hours worked can also be determined. If the target person is, for example, officially employed only part-time but in reality works full-time and receives the corresponding wage difference in cash, the deception will be uncovered during the surveillance. In such a scenario, the employer naturally also renders himself or herself liable to prosecution. Upon completion of the investigation, you will receive a written report from us, which you may use for further legal proceedings. If required, the detectives involved will of course also be available to testify as witnesses. We will be pleased to provide you with further information regarding the investigative options relevant to your case.
