Custody and Maintenance Disputes

The field of activity of our private detectives from Trier is by no means limited to personal surveillance in cases of suspected infidelity. In addition to numerous areas within commercial investigations, it also includes, among other things, the gathering of evidence in disputes relating to custody, childcare, separation maintenance, child maintenance and post-marital maintenance.

As a rule, Kurtz Detective Agency Trier and Luxembourg can obtain evidence for you through professional observation that substantiates your claims – or relieve you of a distressing suspicion should it prove unfounded: +49 651 2094 0060.

Undisclosed Income | Observation by Private Detectives

It is only natural that many former spouses or separated unmarried partners with children are not on good terms after the end of their relationship. In addition to the fact that things evidently did not function properly within the partnership, leading to separation, independent personal interests now come into play, tempting some individuals to deceive their “ex”. The target persons of our detectives from Trier generally take little pleasure in paying maintenance to a former partner. While most accept child maintenance, their understanding of the applicable legal situation in Germany often ends when it comes to payments intended to maintain a previous standard of living (separation maintenance or post-marital maintenance).

Through misinformation, some attempt to avoid paying maintenance or to continue receiving payments to which they are no longer entitled. This may involve concealing secondary income, failing to notify the family court of new employment, engaging in undeclared work, or hiding extraordinary increases in assets, for example through inheritance. If you suspect your former partner of breaching their duty to provide information, do not hesitate to contact the private detectives of Kurtz Investigations Trier and Luxembourg: kontakt@kurtz-detektei-luxemburg.com.

Concealed New Partnership | Duty of Disclosure

Not only changes in the employment and income situation of both the maintenance payer and the maintenance recipient require adjustments to existing maintenance arrangements under the law; the commencement of a new established partnership likewise has legal consequences. As a rule, such a change not only leads to a reduction in post-marital maintenance claims but may even result in their complete termination. It is therefore hardly surprising that maintenance payers repeatedly approach our private detectives in Trier to have a – often already known but not yet proven – new relationship of their former partner documented in a manner admissible in court.

In connection with new relationships, Kurtz Detective Agency Trier and Luxembourg is engaged not only to establish their existence, but occasionally also to review the handling of the child. This is primarily the case where the new partner is suspected of exerting a negative influence or displaying negligent or aggressive behaviour towards the child. If the manner in which childcare is carried out violates either applicable law (for example, child abuse) or specific court orders, repeated occurrences may ultimately lead to a modification of the custody arrangement – provided, of course, that these violations have been documented in a manner admissible in court. Our detectives from Trier are responsible for this as experienced experts: +49 651 2094 0060.
