  A third object in the vicinity of a binary system causes variations in the
eccentricity and the inclination of the binary through the Kozai-Lidov effect.
We examine if such variations leave a detectable imprint on the gravitational
waves of a binary consisting of intermediate mass black holes and stellar mass
objects. As a proof of concept, we present an example where LISA may detect the
Kozai-Lidov modulated gravitational wave signals of such sources from at least
a distance of 1Mpc if the perturbation is caused by a supermassive black hole
tertiary. Although the quick pericenter precession induced by general
relativity significantly reduces the appropriate parameter space for this
effect by quenching the Kozai-Lidov oscillations, we still find reasonable
parameters where the Kozai-Lidov effect may be detected with high
signal-to-noise ratios.
