Child Support | Custody

The competent investigators of Aaden Detective Agency Stuttgart conduct research and surveillance in cases of doubt related to maintenance and custody. For example, we provide court-admissible proof of the income situation of your ex-partner, examine the existence of a marriage-like cohabitation, and carry out investigations and observations regarding suitability for the care of the shared child: +49 711 7153 011-0.

Maintenance – Obligation and Entitlement | Stuttgart Detectives Investigate

After a couple separates, the entitlement to maintenance and—usually based on the nationwide applicable Düsseldorf Table—the amount of payments are determined. In addition to possible separation or post-marital maintenance, the parent with whom the children reside is entitled to appropriate child support payments from the ex-partner. Not infrequently, the parties involved attempt to obtain higher financial benefits than legally entitled by providing false information about their income, or to avoid paying as much maintenance as they are actually obligated to provide. In such cases, our private detectives in Stuttgart help you assert your rights. We not only verify the accuracy of income statements but also investigate the living circumstances of your ex-partner.

Is the Ex-Partner Suitable for the Children? Alcohol | Social Environment | New Partner

Family courts and youth welfare offices—as well as the children concerned—generally favor joint custody arrangements, where only the right to determine the child’s residence lies with one parent. However, the other parent often questions whether the children are truly well cared for. Does the ex-partner’s new companion exert a negative influence? Is the ex-partner too occupied with work to adequately care for the children? Do they show signs of excessive alcohol consumption or even drug use? The experienced private investigators of Aaden Corporate Detective Agency Stuttgart determine whether your children are receiving proper care and whether your ex-partner is capable of fulfilling their responsibilities.

Cost- and Time-Intensive? | Our Detectives Inform

In particular, surveillance of an ex-partner—for example, to determine whether they are engaged in undeclared secondary employment or whether the children are being neglected—can extend over several days, weeks, or even months and requires time to obtain court-admissible evidence. Naturally, this effort involves detective costs, but if violations by your ex-partner can indeed be proven, you may be able to reclaim the expenses for our Stuttgart private detectives from them. We are, of course, happy to discuss any questions in a non-binding consultation.

OLG Stuttgart, Ref. 8 WF 96/88

Child Support | Custody | Child Abduction

• If a child entitled to maintenance fails to independently and promptly inform the obligated parent (in this case: the father) about taking up employment (in this case: vocational training), and the obligated parent discovers this with the help of a detective agency, the entire maintenance claim is forfeited. The costs of the detective agency must in any case be reimbursed by the presumed entitled child, regardless of whether they are considered legal costs under Section 91 (1) of the German Code of Civil Procedure (ZPO) or as a claim under Sections 823, 249 of the German Civil Code (BGB). AG Tempelhof-Kreuzberg, Ref. 140 F 14873/98

• A custodial mother is permitted to engage private detectives in the search for children hidden by the father. The detective costs must be borne by the culpable father, although not necessarily in full. BGH, Ref. VI ZR 110/89
