Detection of Undisclosed Income by Detectives

The determination of monthly separation maintenance payments is based on income statements and asset declarations of both spouses. In addition, witness statements from the parties involved are considered, in which income is often withheld to claim higher maintenance payments or, in extreme cases, even to shift from being the payer to becoming the recipient of support.

In such cases, the experienced private detectives of Aaden Detective Agency Frankfurt are happy to assist: +49 69 1201 8454-0.

Reporting Obligation Often Ignored by the Parties

Although there is a legal obligation to report changes in income, many maintenance recipients ignore this duty, and in doubtful cases, the paying party may never learn that they should actually pay less or nothing at all. A certain degree of mistrust is therefore reasonable, as individuals who trust their ex-partners too much are often taken advantage of for years.

Silence Can Also Be a Lie

When a separation occurs—whether due to anger, disappointment, envy, or financial need—each party often focuses solely on their own advantage. The paying party may withhold the actual amount of income or work a second job without declaring the additional earnings. Likewise, the recipient may conceal a new partnership to avoid reductions in maintenance.

If you suspect that your ex-partner is taking advantage of you and that you are entitled to more maintenance—or that you might need to pay less—our detectives in Frankfurt can investigate your ex-partner’s actual income and, if necessary, surveil them in case of suspected undeclared work. This allows you to obtain evidence that is both legally valid and admissible in court: +49 69 1201 8454-0 or info@aaden-detektive-frankfurt.de.
