  • Undercover surveillance operations
  • Spot-check verification assignments
  • Pattern/routine surveillance planning
  • Custody-exchange compliance observations
  • Overnight residency and shared-household pattern documentation
  • Behavior pattern documentation
  • Cohabitation and routine verification
  • Date-stamped observation records

Hidden Income FAQ

What counts as hidden income in a family-law case?

Hidden income can include undeclared side work, self-employment revenue, cash jobs, business activity that does not match reported earnings, or lifestyle patterns inconsistent with the income story being presented.

Can you investigate cash work or side jobs?

Yes. Those matters usually require pattern-based documentation, business-link research, activity verification, and lawful public-source work rather than one simple payroll record.

Is hidden-income work different from hidden-assets work?

Yes, but the two often overlap. Hidden-income work focuses on earnings and work activity, while hidden-assets work focuses more on property, ownership, and control of financial resources.

Should my attorney be involved early in a hidden-income investigation?

If a support hearing, modification request, or contested disclosure issue is likely, yes. Attorney coordination helps keep the scope tied to the legal objective.
