Kathryn Dennis has repeatedly flouted a court order banning lovers from staying the night when her young children are under her roof and has even been caught on camera hiding her 'live-in' lover in her car to avoid detection, DailyMailTV can reveal.

In a series of images, taken from surveillance footage and obtained exclusively by DailyMailTV from court document, Kathryn's then boyfriend, country singer Hunter Price, can be seen bundling his gear and himself into her Jeep at 2.30pm on February 20 this year.

The vehicle is parked towards the rear of her downtown home. At 3.07pm, the children's court appointed guardian arrives at the front of the residence for a home visit.

Just two minutes after the guardian leaves, Kathryn can be seen coming out of her home and getting into the car beside Price.

One minute later, at 3.37pm by which time Price has been in the car for more than an hour, he and Kathryn get out and he begins unloading his luggage and taking it back into her home.

Neither Kathryn, 28, nor Ravenel, 57, are allowed to even introduce partners of less four months to their children Kensie, 5, and Saint, 3.

But this damning footage was filmed less than two months after Kathryn met Price, 27, in Nashville over New Years.

Both she and her then boyfriend are oblivious to the surveillance camera mounted across the street that captured every clandestine minute.

But today DailyMail.com can reveal that Ravenel had his ex filmed, followed and photographed by a squad of private investigators in a covert surveillance exercise that spanned a staggering nine months.

The information harvested between September 2018 and June 2019 has now formed the basis of a damaging report seen by DailyMail.com and submitted to the court by Ravenel in a bid to slam the door once and for all on his ex's hopes of securing sole custody of their children.

During the course of the investigation multiple investigators and video cameras were used to 'observe activity outside of Kathryn's two residences.'

The cameras were set to record 24 hours a day for approximately 109 days. Roughly 40,000 photos and 10,000 videos were recorded and reviewed.

According to Private Investigator David C Leaird's report, 'the patterns of behavior …observed during Kathryn's custodial time…raise concern for the children's general welfare.'

Out of roughly 109 days of surveillance, the report states, 'Kathryn was only observed taking a stroll with the children once, on March 7, 2019, from 6.17pm until 7.08pm.' During this stroll, it notes, she was 'accompanied by her live-in boyfriend, Hunter Price.'

From the beginning of February until the cameras were pulled in June, Price was seen staying over for 37 of the 56 nights that Kathryn had the children. The report notes that these are only the nights accounted for by video surveillance and that the number may be higher.

In fact 'two different paramours' were seen spending the night with Kathryn on separate occasions during her time with her children. This was observed to have occurred approximately 40 times over the course of the surveillance and, according to the report, carried on after Kathryn received notice that the court had been alerted to the behavior.

Not only did her lovers stay the night while her children were present they were also left alone with the children though one of those relationships lasted only one month.

That brief liaison was with Joseph Abruzzo, 39, a Democratic politician from Florida whom Kathryn met at a Miami Dolphins game and 'dated' from October to November 2018.

Abruzzo himself is no stranger to controversy and went through a messy divorce from his wife of three years, with whom he has a son, in February 2018.

In the report one visit from Abruzzo is documented, when Kathryn had the children on October 30 and 31, 2018. The report states, 'He was observed through the windows late at night on the first floor of the Downtown Home on both evenings.

'Candle's were observed to be lit. Music and sounds of Kathryn moaning and saying, "how do you like that" could be heard coming from the residence from the street.'

One of a myriad of conditions placed on both Ravenel and his ex is that they should not be intoxicated by drink or under the influence of any other drugs while caring for their children

Last week, Ravenel was fined $500 after taking a plea deal to charges he assaulted a former nanny. He was sentenced to 30 days in jail in court but that will be suspended upon payment

Ravenel has employed Leaird's firm before, first retaining their services back in 2015 when his custody battle with Kathryn began.

Now, the investigator regarded as Charleston's 'go to guy' for partners seeking to expose adultery, has given his own damning conclusions based on the 'entirety of all combined investigations.'

During that time, he states, 'Kathryn Dennis has exhibited poor and erratic behavior detrimental to her children consisting of multiple male friends spending the night with the children, significant drug and alcohol abuse, smoking or vaping in proximity of the children and very little time spent outside her residence interacting with the children.'

In fact, he writes, 'In the years I have watched these children grow, I can count on one hand how many times she has taken her children on a stroll or to a park.'

Instead the image his report has now painted is of a woman more concerned with the façade of motherhood than its reality as he observed, 'The times Kathryn [spent] with the children, it was usually with KR (Kensie), and it appeared to involve a publicized social media activity.'

Kathryn has regularly posted pictures of herself with her children on social media accounts and recently launched a line of children's furniture in their name.

For her part Kathryn has hit back with the claim that investigators simply were not present on the many occasions when she DID go out with her children.

She has also pointed to the fact that, unlike her ex, she does not 'earn $1 to $2million a year' and therefore cannot afford to mount her own surveillance operation to expose all of his behaviors.

Ravenel's latest financial declaration put his monthly income as approximately $91, 615. Kathryn's was estimated at $30,000 a month but that figure has yet to be officially declared and she has admitted to owing 'at least' $100,000 to $150,000 in back taxes.

Kathryn and Price are no longer together having split up in July. She and Ravened are due in court later in the year if they cannot reach an agreement in this lengthy and costly custody battle.
