HOW RHODE ISLAND DIVORCE LAW AFFECTS YOU
WHAT ARE THE GROUNDS FOR DIVORCE?
A divorce in Rhode Island, in the majority of cases, is granted on the grounds of irreconcilable differences which have caused the breakdown of the marriage. There are various other grounds for divorces such as adultery or extreme cruelty which can be discussed with your attorney.
WHAT IS THE RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT FOR OBTAINING A DIVORCE IN THE RHODE ISLAND FAMILY COURT?
Divorce proceedings cannot be initiated unless you or your spouse have resided in Rhode Island for a period of one year.
WHAT DO I NEED FOR THE FIRST VISIT TO MY LAWYER'S OFFICE?
To expedite your case, you should take your marriage certificate, copies of your most recent tax return, a picture of your spouse, a list of your family obligations and a list of questions you have for your lawyer. In addition, you should know the address, both residence and work of your spouse, together with all family members' place and date of birth.
WHAT KIND OF ISSUES WILL I DISCUSS WITH MY ATRORNEY DURING THE FIRST VISIT?
The separation of a married couple is one of the most traumatic occurrences in one's life. An attorney will address both family and emotional issues, including consideration of marriage counseling or other steps to help save the marriage; assisting you as a parent in meeting the needs of your children; and handling financial matters such as real estate and personal property. You should also be sure to discuss, and fully understand, the attorney's fee arrangement at the first meeting.
WHAT IS A RESTRAINING ORDER AND WHEN MIGHT I NEED ONE?
Restraining orders are usually designed to prevent abuse of a spouse or to prevent removal of marital assets. Restraining orders may be applied for when necessary in cases of physical abuse, transfer of assets, etc. You can apply for a restraining order directly to Family Court without the help of a lawyer.
WHAT ABOUT CHILD SUPPORT?
The Family Court of Rhode Island has adopted a child support formula and guideline which is based on the incomes of both parents. Your attorney will be able to estimate the amount of support which might be ordered by the Court.
HOW ARE MARITAL ASSETS DIVIDED?
Marriage is a partnership so an important issue in divorce is division of marital assets. Most cases are divided equally between spouses, but depending upon the specific facts of the case, there may be a different distribution of marital assets.
