Love is a powerful emotion and marriage is widely considered as proof of the devotion between two individuals. In a perfect world, all married couples would stay together happily married. However not all marriages stay together until death separates them. Sometimes it is inevitable that a couple, after 5, 10, 15, or 40 years of marriage will ultimately end in divorce. It is not always a happy ending. Divorce in Canada is governed by law and legal intervention is generally required in order to complete the process. It must be proven before the court that a “marriage breakdown” has occurred. The Divorce Law in Canada was designed as a “no fault” law where the blame is not put on a spouse.
What are some of the reasons why marriages end up in divorce? The most common ground for divorce is separation for at least one year however there are also other factors such as adultery or cheating, having relations with another man or woman. Another reason is when there is physical or mental abuse within the marriage. Some spouses blatantly cheat on their wives or husbands but there are some who discreetly conduct their marital transgressions and the aggrieved party hires a private investigator to find out if their spouse has been cheating on them. Private investigators are well trained in what they do and use various tools for surveillance, mobile and computer forensics. Emails, intimate facebook messages, text messages, and records of phone calls can be revealed as well as the usual photograph of them eating together and kissing in a restaurant or walking in the park and holding hands. Investigative evidence can have a strong effect on the outcome of a separation including such things as access and child and/or spousal support arrangements
Infidelity has a huge impact on a relationship but it doesn’t mean that a relationship is over. Trust is important in a relationship and some believe that if it has been lost, trust can never come back. However couples who want to make the marriage work despite the infidelity still have a second chance. A couple can still work things out, possibly even consult a therapist individually or even undergo therapy together. Divorce should be the last resort, as it has a lasting impact on children if any exist. Divorce also involves lawyers, legal and other fees that can become costly. There are also arrangements to be made such as custody of children, child support, splitting up of assets and others. A private investigator can be invaluable in these situations if one of the partners is hiding assets, employment income and/or conducting any other unsavory tactics. Where one of the spouses may be drinking, doing drugs, driving without a licence, attending prohibited addresses or an unlimited number of activities, domestic surveillance can reveal everything.
