A man called the office asking for some suggestions. He and his wife had been separated for more than 6 months. She was nonetheless living in the matrimonial property and he had moved out into a flat. The arrangement was that she would get a job and put the home on the market and they could then split the money and every single buys a smaller comfortable property. The split was a mutual one as each parties had had affairs. His wife had created no try to marketplace the property and kept generating excuses as to why not. He also believes that the wife has moved her boyfriend in and our client was nonetheless footing the bills for that residence and his own flat.
He wanted us to pose as probable buyers. His program was to go round and knock on the door and ask if it was for sale. If his wife stated no he would know that she had no intention of putting it up for sale. He also wanted proof that her boyfriend was living there and if she had tried to get work. Our client was required to pay upkeep for her although she was out of function and pay for the upkeep of the house.
We completed a six hour session of surveillance in which we followed her from the property to see if she was creating any effort to sell the home and get a job. For the duration of the session the boyfriend let himself within the front door having a key and he parked his car on the drive. Our client’s wife went towards the hairdressers after which did some shopping. She passed some estate agents but didn't go in any of them. On the instruction of our client we completed two a lot more six hour sessions and noted again that the boyfriend entered the residence once again by himself using a key.
Our client went to see his solicitor with the film footage along with the reports. His solicitor confirmed that he could divorce her on the grounds of adultery and that since her boyfriend was in paid employment and should be contributing towards the house hold they should be able to force the sale with the residence and reduce the amount of maintenance our client was paying.
