Spying on an Ex: When It Makes Sense to Hire a Private Detective After a Breakup

Breakups can be as varied as the relationships themselves. While some end amicably, others leave no friendly word for their former partner. And some people struggle to accept that the person they once loved is no longer part of their life.

 

Many calls reach Kurtz Investigations Erfurt and Thuringia with requests to have an ex monitored, “out of personal interest,” for example, to find out if they have a new partner. Purely personal curiosity, however, is generally not a sufficient reason for surveillance by our Thuringian detectives, as in such cases the ex-partner’s right to privacy outweighs other considerations.

 

There are, however, legitimate reasons that justify surveillance. Kurtz Private Detectives Erfurt and Thuringia (+49 361 2243 0020) outline these below.

Legitimate Interest Is Decisive

Especially in one-sided breakups, many people desperately want to know what their ex-partner is doing and seek ways to remain close. Hiring a detective to uncover everything about their new life may seem tempting. The key factor here is the so-called legitimate interest, which is usually a strict legal requirement for private investigators. If your motivation is purely personal, such as trying to win back your ex, resources like exzurueckexperte.de may be more appropriate for guidance.

 

While “tailing” an ex without economic or legal reasons is generally not lawful, there are separation cases in which contacting our Erfurt detectives makes sense.

Evidence Gathering in Divorce Cases

Maintenance

In divorce cases, hiring a detective can make sense in various scenarios. In maintenance disputes, the financial situations of both partners usually have to be disclosed. Not all spouses comply with their duty to disclose; many also give false information. If there are doubts about the legitimacy of maintenance claims, our private detectives for Jena, Weimar, Gotha and across Thuringia can help clarify the actual income situation and living conditions of the ex-partners.

 

This includes, for example, uncovering undeclared secondary employment or secret financial transactions of the maintenance-obliged partner. If there is reason to believe that the maintenance-entitled partner has committed a serious misconduct and thus forfeited the maintenance claim, for example through adultery, it may be sensible to choose a detective as a tried-and-tested way of producing evidence. In some cases, reimbursement of detective costs by the opposing party may even be sought.

Custody

The second pillar of evidence gathering against an ex-partner concerns custody concerns. If the other parent repeatedly shows worrying or undoubtedly unacceptable behaviour in dealing with the shared child, they may be disqualified from caring for the child. This generally affects at least personal contact and often also decision-making authority regarding place of residence and school choice, as well as many other areas of life.

 

Before a court makes a decision that is above all decisive for the child, clear evidence is required. Such evidence can be obtained in a manner admissible in court through observation of contact between the ex-partner and the child/children or, depending on the case, through observation of the other parent’s usual activities outside of contact time. Disqualifying factors that may not be observable during contact include addictive behaviour (alcohol, drugs, gambling, etc.), violence or a criminal social environment.

Evidence Gathering During the Relationship

Even in cases of an abusive relationship, it can be very useful to obtain evidence with the support of experienced detectives. Evidence helps, for example, in obtaining an interim injunction against the ex-partner. This is a court order prohibiting your ex-partner from approaching you and, if applicable, your children.

 

Moreover, our Erfurt private detectives very often investigate suspected infidelity within ongoing relationships. Obtain a non-binding, free consultation for your individual concern: +49 361 2243 0020.
