Cohabitation Law

Alimony in the State of New Jersey is subject to modification, suspension, or even termination if the person responsible for paying the alimony can prove that their former spouse is cohabitating with another person in a serious relationship. Alimony ceases when the former spouse receiving the alimony gets remarried or can prove their spouse is cohabitating with another in a long-term relationship.

Courts assessing whether cohabitation is occurring take into consideration a series of non-exclusive factors, including:

Intertwined finances including bank accounts and other holdings
Sharing responsibilities for living expenses
Recognition of the relationship in the couple's social and family circle
Living together, the frequency of contact, the duration of the relationship and other indications of a mutually supportive intimate personal relationship
Sharing household chores
Whether the recipient of alimony has received an enforceable promise of support from another person
Any other relevant evidence

In other words, a court does not need to find that a person receiving the alimony is indeed living with someone else, but that they will consider all of the above factors when determining whether a couple is cohabitating.

The burden of proof is on the person paying the alimony. Let our team of professional investigators help you. Our investigators delve deep into the finances of the subjects and use surveillance methods to provide the legal proof needed to convince the court of cohabitation.

Litigation Support

Our investigators have many years of law enforcement experience and have investigated and testified in some of New Jersey's largest cases involving homicide, sexual assault, organized criminal enterprises, death by auto and arson. Trial preparation is not just preparing witnesses for testimony. We believe that to truly support the attorney, we must look at the case from the perspective of both the accused and the accuser. With a mind for detail, an experienced investigator can be a valuable asset to the client's case. We have prepared numerous cases for motions and trial by jury.

Witness Interviews can be one of the most crucial parts of trial preparation. They can also be one of the most time consuming. Experienced investigators know that finding an important witness can make or break a case. Occasionally, witnesses do not want to be interviewed or appear in court, making a difficult witness an impossible witness. It takes a skilled investigator to approach a witness the correct way and obtain a statement that is both truthful and legal. Our investigators have conducted hundreds of witness statements and know how to ask important questions to get honest answers. We also explain the judicial process and what to expect in trial situations so there are no unexpected surprises.

Missing Person Investigation

A missing person can be defined as a witness to an incident, the biological parents of someone adopted at birth, heirs to an estate, teenagers and minors, family members or long lost friends. Whatever the situation, we will bring our skill set to work for you. We have access to data bases that are only accessible to law enforcement and licensed private investigation firms like McMorrow Investigations and Consulting LLC. Our investigators will use this information to develop leads for interviews, as well as determining a verified location for the subject you wish to find.

Security Consulting

In today's world there is no topic that is more controversial than school/ workplace security. During the first 7 months of 2022 the United States experienced over 300 mass shootings, of those 27 were school shootings.

One thing we can all agree on is that this can happen in any town, in any state, at any time.

The first step in making your place of business more secure for your employees is a comprehensive risk threat assessment. Our team of security experts will identify any and all possible areas of vulnerability and provide a written report detailing those issues and how to correct them.

No two businesses, or schools are the same. There are different campus configurations, different locations, different numbers of employees, or students and different safety protocols. Currently, most employ the Run, Hide, Fight methodology in case of an active shooter. Is it enough? Some businesses and schools have armed police officers, some do not. Most have cameras, but do they help identify a threat prior to an assault? What is the plan if a threat is identified? According to recent FBI statistics the average police response time to an active shooter attack in the United States is three minutes. Without a security threat assessment in place your business may not be operating as safely as it should.

Areas of concern may be:

Faulty locks
Improper doors
Improper parking lot lighting
Video camera coverage and data storage
Inadequate fire suppression systems
Evacuation routes
Improper storage of chemicals
Electronic door/ access point malfunction
Outdated active shooter policies and procedures
Audit your current security vendor. Are you getting what you pay for?
Work place violence: Identify access vulnerability points and increase employee security, often with minor changes. Protect employees from acts of violence through training and pre-planned custom protocols designed with your current building layout.
Event security: Our team has provided security for major sporting and political events facing a myriad of challenges. Our pre-event threat assessment will identify potential areas of vulnerability and conduct social media analysis to mitigate potential dangers.

Employment Screening
Background Checks

Pre-employment screening, otherwise known as a background check, is a crucial first step in the hiring process. Hiring the right employee is essential to the investment you are about to make in your company. A full background investigation will confirm an applicant's address and include a detailed look into an applicant's employment history, driving history, verify educational and financial background as well as any criminal history information.

Background investigations are also used for private matters such as:

Confirming who you are connecting with from an online source or dating website
- Never give your financial information to anyone online. There is an ever-increasing number of people from around the world using dating websites as a means of obtaining personal information for financial gain. Most of these predators are in foreign countries and will use complex methods to hide who they are and their real intentions. Know the history of who you are connecting with from the start. Get a background check.
Screen potential tenants before signing a lease
- Evection proceedings can take months and cost thousands in legal fees. Know a prospective tenant's credit scores, background, liens and judgements before you sign a lease.
Nanny/ tutor background check
Elder care
- We screen individuals as well as companies to ensure you know who is taking care of a family member.

Domestic Investigations

Child Support

When one parent is not holding up to their financial responsibilities for a raising a child, this can create enormous emotional and financial stress on the single parent. Our investigators will locate the missing parent and determine their financial status and lifestyle, if they are working and where. We will provide the evidence you need to get the finances you deserve.

Teen Troubles

Do you know where your children are? If you suspect illegal drug use, or your child is headed down the wrong path, get answers to help you make an informed decision for their future. Our investigators will discuss your suspicions and offer options during your free consultation.

Surveillance

Surveillance is a way of discretely learning a subject's actions without them ever knowing they are being watched. It can involve investigators physically following the subject in a vehicle or on foot and documenting their movements and interactions with other people. Surveillance can also be conducted electronically. Electronic surveillance and the use of covert equipment can be additional means with which to further an investigation. Many of our cases employ the use of surveillance techniques and specialized equipment.

If a subject under surveillance happens to detect they are being surveilled, it could compromise the case and potentially end the case prematurely. Our licensed investigators are former law enforcement professionals with many years of building cases through the art of surveillance. They know how to anticipate movements of people that do not want to be detected, and discretely gather the evidence needed to move a case forward

Global Positioning System (GPS)

There are many reasons to employ the use of a GPS tracking device. Whether you are an employer keeping track of vehicles in your fleet, a family member concerned about the use of a personal vehicle or seeking to know more about a family member's whereabouts, GPS technology is a tried and true method that will provide accurate results. We use tracking devices on a case-by-case basis to ensure that the purpose and use are within New Jersey law. Once the investigation is complete, our investigators will meet with the client, explain the evidence and provide a written report of our findings.
