The Role Of A Private Investigator In Adultery Cases

In order to establish an adultery case in New Hampshire, there are several elements which are required to be proven. Two of these elements require proofthat the cheating spouse had both the desire and opportunity to have sexual intercourse with a person of the opposite sex who is not his/her spouse. Many times, the private investigator plays an integral role in proving these two elements. The private investigator's surveillance can be very effective in establishing to the trial judge or marital master of the existence of an adulterous relationship, especially when there is video of the surveillance. It is hard for the cheating spouse to deny video proof of exchange of affection such as kissing and hand holding with a member of the opposite sex. Further, video surveillance of the adulterous spouse being alone with the paramour in a private or secluded location such as a hotel room, motel room, parked vehicle or other private areas is often powerful evidence of the existence of an adulterous relationship.
