Case Overview
A Dallas cohabitation investigation confirmed what our client suspected but could not prove — her ex-spouse was secretly living with a new partner while continuing to receive court-ordered support. She contacted Terrance Private Investigator and Associates, a trusted Dallas private investigator firm, after noticing repeated overnight absences, shared social media activity, and financial inconsistencies that suggested a violation of her divorce agreement. What began as a request for clarity turned into a documented pattern of cohabitation inside a North Dallas apartment in the 75243 zip code.
The Challenge
Under the terms of the divorce decree, financial obligations were tied to the ex-spouse’s living status. If cohabitation could be proven, support modification could be pursued — but suspicion is not evidence. She needed legally obtained proof from a licensed private investigator in Dallas to place in front of her attorney. What she had were signals, not documentation:
- The same vehicle parked overnight at the residence
- Social media posts placing both people inside the same apartment
- Utility usage patterns that did not match a single occupant
- Neighbors referring to the couple as living together

The Investigation
Every observation captured from lawful public vantage points, in full compliance with Texas surveillance laws.
Our Dallas cohabitation investigators launched a multi-day surveillance operation focused on the subject’s listed residence and the suspected shared apartment. Methods included early-morning and late-night surveillance, vehicle tracking from public roadways, pattern-of-life observation, and entry and exit documentation.
Across multiple days, the subject was observed arriving at the apartment in the evening, entering with personal belongings, remaining overnight, and leaving for work directly from the location the following morning.
On several occasions the subject and the partner returned together with groceries, walked a dog jointly, and retrieved packages addressed to both individuals — the ordinary routines of two people sharing a home rather than an occasional visitor.
The turning point came when investigators documented continuous overnight stays across multiple surveillance dates, shared household routines, and joint use of parking and amenities. This was not occasional visitation — it was residency. The subject had effectively moved into the apartment while maintaining a separate address on paper.
The Results
What began as a lingering suspicion ended in clear, undeniable truth. Consecutive nights of surveillance, time-stamped photographs, and documented departures straight to work built a precise timeline the attorney can actually use:
- Identified residence — confirmed the subject’s repeated overnight presence at the same Dallas apartment
- Photo and video — time-stamped documentation of arrivals, departures, and shared activities
- Dates, times, and locations — a clear timeline establishing a consistent living pattern
- Shared domestic activity — groceries, package retrieval, pet care, and daily routines observed together
- A court-ready evidence package delivered, giving the client the leverage to pursue the support modification she was legally entitled to
This was not occasional visitation. This was residency. We don’t deal in assumptions — we deal in proof.
