We had a telephone call from a woman who necessary to discover exactly where her husband was. He had left her and also the kids but had not given her a forwarding address. She told us that although he came to see their children as soon as a week he didn’t give her any money for them and with out an address for him she could not give his details to the CSA. He had changed his job when he left and she did not know where he was working now. The only time she knew where he was was when he came to see the youngsters.
We decided that to learn exactly where he was living and operating we ought to fit a tracking device to his automobile. This would tell us exactly where he was staying and where he was operating. The automobile belonged to our client so we could fit the device when he subsequent came to go to the young children. We suggested the device should remain on the car for two weeks. This would make certain a great pattern of movements from the auto.
We identified the information inside the first week and using a couple of follow up phone calls confirmed the info was right. We removed the device right after two weeks and our client could give the data towards the CSA. Our client then decided she wanted to know if he was cohabitating with yet another woman. We carried out surveillance on the property address we had found for him. After three sessions of six hour slots we had adequate evidence of cohabitation for our client to take to her solicitor.
We have since discovered 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.
