We had a telephone call from a woman who needed to learn exactly where her husband was. He had left her and also the children but had not given her a forwarding address. She told us that though he came to see their youngsters as soon as a week he didn’t give her any funds for them and without having an address for him she could not give his details towards the CSA. He had changed his job when he left and she didn't know where he was working now. The only time she knew exactly where he was was when he came to see the young children.
We decided that to discover exactly where he was living and operating we ought to fit a tracking device to his automobile. This would tell us where he was staying and exactly where he was operating. The vehicle belonged to our client so we could fit the device when he next came to check out the young children. We suggested the device should stay on the automobile for two weeks. This would make certain a good pattern of movements from the auto.
We discovered the information within the first week and using a few follow up telephone calls confirmed the data was appropriate. We removed the device following two weeks and our client could give the details towards the CSA. Our client then decided she wanted to know if he was cohabitating with one more woman. We carried out surveillance on the house address we had located for him. Following three sessions of six hour slots we had sufficient evidence of cohabitation for our client to take to her solicitor.
We have considering that identified out that she has filed for divorce on the ground of adultery and that he left her for this new woman. He has had to pay all the arrears from the CSA.
