Investigations

Our investigators are drawn from ex police officers, military personnel and Civilian Investigators with a wealth of knowledge and experience in conducting complex investigations and covert surveillance, performing these tasks with the utmost discretion and confidentiality.

Criminal Investigation

We have vast experience of investigation, from neighbor disputes to murder enquiries and can assist defence solicitors in tracing and interviewing witnesses and obtaining evidence.

Our use of ex-police officers in criminal matters ensures that all enquiries and interviews are conducted in accordance with PACE, current legislation, and professionalism when called to give evidence.

We have gained considerable experience in conducting door to door and local enquiries in criminal matters on behalf of defence solicitors acting for clients in many high profile cases.

Co-Habitation

Divorce is costly both emotionally and financially with the additional  cost of long term maintenance  being a significant drain on your salary and future standard of living.

Some financial settlements are reached on  the proviso that maintenance payments to the former partner are either reduced or curtailed if they co-habit with a new partner.  In the event of the former partner beginning a new relationship and cohabiting with their new partner the agreed maintenance payments are either reduced or stopped.

Quite often this state of affairs results in the former-partner concealing the fact they are co-habiting with a new partner in order to retain the higher level of maintenance payments. 

In many cases there may be anecdotal evidence of co-habitation from children of the family, neighbours or local gossip however this is insufficient to satisfy a court that the former partner is co-habiting. 

To prove co-habitation, one needs to present the court with solid and irrefutable evidence in the shape of video and photographic of the new partner co-habiting with the former partner. 

We at CSW Associates have gained extensive experience in the conducting of Co-Habitation investigations and obtaining the type of evidence required to prove the case. 

Our investigators are experts in these matters, with many years of experience, so they are equipped to read complex situations and draw on a range of skills and surveillance options. This could include traditional methods of surveillance, such as watching your partner’s home to obtain Video and Photographic evidence of the third party’s residency. Either way, we can efficiently produce conclusive evidence of cohabitation, which will ensure that you get a fair deal when in the divorce proceedings

Upon completion of the investigation a detailed report of our findings is provided together with supporting video and photographic evidence and Witness Statements 

Any evidence obtained by CSW Associates is admissible in court we can also attend hearings and trials as witnesses when necessary.
