Some people may tell you that the Rhode Island Family Court judges will help you through the divorce proceeding if you've reached an agreement with your spouse. Is it true? Yes. So the next question is fairly obvious. Since the Judges in the Rhode Island divorce cases do these things all the time, if they are going to help me through the process, why in the world do I need a Rhode island lawyer's help at all. Hey, it's a Great Question! I have to admit that. Yet here is the big catch. The Rhode… [read post]

As a lawyer who has focused my practice in the area of Rhode Island Divorce law for the past decade, one would think that my answer to this question would be "Yes." However, in the world of law, divorce and courtrooms things are not always as clear cut as we would like them to be. Consider this Rhode Island Divorce Example that I came up with as I write this article which will develop more as a stream of consciousness than a well planned out and upscale legal article. * * * Divorce Example of… [read post]

QUESTION: Attorney Pearsall, I have a neice that I am trying to help out with a very difficult situation. To keep her anonymous, I'll call her Tracy. Tracy married Brian about 15 years ago. Tracy had a promising career and a very good education but she gave up working as a graphic designer to raise their two children. The kids are age 13 and 10 right now and they are her whole world. Tracy hasn't worked in 15 years. Before filing for divorce Brian took Tracy's name off all the bank accounts,… [read post]

Hiring a Rhode Island lawyer to handle your divorce should not mean that you leave everything to the lawyer. In my humble opinion, too many clients do that out of a sense of relief. Once a client engages a lawyer for his or her divorce, there is some sense of relief to the client. That's understandable. Now the client has someone who should be knowledgeable in divorce and family law to help him or her through the process and usually adds a certain level of comfort. A client no longer feels as though… [read post]

Do you want your Rhode Island divorce to go easier? Would you rather it go as quickly as possible, and be reasonable and amicable? Let me give you a huge tip that many Rhode Island lawyers would rather you disregard completely. If you have a Rhode Island Divorce Lawyer and your lawyer tells you something like this, "Now that I'm your attorney. Let me do my job. Everything goes through attorneys. That's the way divorces work. Do not talk to your spouse. If you say anything to your spouse, tell him… [read post]

UNMARRIED - IT'S A CRIME Imagine this. You have a girlfriend and her name is Silvia. You live together with her and Silvia brought a computer when she moved. Silvia gave you permission to use the computer to check your personal email from time to time. You suspect Silvia is seeing some guy so you install spy software on the computer. The spy software later tells you that Silvia has, in fact, been seeing not one, but two other men while she has been living with you in what you thought was a… [read post]

A few things that you should know about Rhode Island Divorce. 1. If someone tells you handling your Rhode Island divorce is easy and they did it without the assistance of a lawyer at all then chances are the person who told you this missed something crucial in their RI divorce proceeding that is likely to come back and haunt them in the future. 2. If someone tells you that you should NEVER handle your own divorce and that you should ALWAYS hire a Rhode Island lawyer to represent you in the Rhode… [read post]

As a Rhode Island Divorce lawyer I can tell you that if you disregard the emotions that divorce brings on and the irratic behavior that results from those emotions then you are setting yourself up for a world of hurt. Divorce brings about the worst in people and while I'd prefer not to dwell on the negative side of divorce litigants and the tragedy they cause to others, I cannot ignore that they exist, nor should you. In fact, ignoring the emotional fallout of a Rhode Island divorce is a mistake. Do… [read post]

Too many people see divorce as an enemy. If you're a staunch catholic or have a family history where divorce is seen as taboo, then divorce becomes an evil. Coping with divorce is often about coming to terms with what it truly is and what it means. Marriage is a wonderful thing. There is no doubt about it. I have a wonderful woman that I love and I would give my life for in a second. Yet marriage is a legal bond recognized in different ways. In some cultures marriage is recognized as part of… [read post]

As a Rhode Island lawyer I am thrilled that my divorce coaching program is on the rise even as other areas of practice for colleagues are struggling. I was floored when I was actually asked recently, "What do you get out of this Rhode Island Divorce Coaching program? You certainly can't be making a mint from $135 sessions for an hour here and there each week. What's the catch?" In a nutshell I'll let my readers know what I let this client know. I get to help people affordably in a difficult economy.… [read post]

One goal of any Rhode Island Divorce lawyer in resolving a divorce proceeding at a Nominal Hearing is to insure that the Marital Settlement Agreement of the parties is "approved" by the court. Approved agreements are essentially validated or "given the stamp of approval" by the Rhode Island Family Court Judge. To reach the level of court approval the Rhode Island Family Court Judge or Magistrate must have (1) heard each party in the divorce testify under oath that the Marital Settlement Agreement… [read post]

Certainly the most inexpensive divorce is the "Do It Yourself" divorce! Are people doing it? Yes they are. In fact, based upon a very rough estimate from talking with a few of the assistant clerks at the Providence Family Court over several months it may be up as high as 75% of people now trying to go through their divorce on their own. The more people that do it, the more people think that it is easy and/or simple to be their own lawyers and go through their divorces without spending money for a… [read post]

It's one thing not to have enough money to hire a lawyer for representation in your divorce. It's another thing altogether because you simply don't want to pay a lawyer ANY money at all to make sure your divorce is done right. The fact is, that divorce lawyers exist for a reason and serve a valuable purpose. The law is often not all black and white. Yet at times even one word makes a difference. Jacob (not his real name) came to me after he and his wife completed their own divorce by agreement and… [read post]
