Rhode Island Family Law Solutions for Kent County Residents

Understanding Rhode Island Family Law

Rhode Island family law covers a broad range of issues, from divorce proceedings to child custody and support. The state's legal framework ensures that these cases are handled with fairness and respect for all involved parties. One unique aspect of family law in Rhode Island is the requirement for equitable distribution of marital assets during a divorce. This means the court will divide assets fairly, although not necessarily equally, based on factors like the length of the marriage and the contributions of each spouse.

As family law cases can be emotionally charged, Rhode Island courts encourage mediation and settlement outside of the courtroom. Local court systems often facilitate mediation sessions, which can be an effective way to reach resolutions that are satisfactory to both parties. By choosing Assalone Lombardi, LLC, you're opting for attorneys who are experienced in navigating these processes, ensuring your rights and interests are safeguarded at every step.

What to Expect in Rhode Island Courts

When attending family court in Rhode Island, it's important to understand the procedures and expectations. Family court sessions are typically held at the Kent County Courthouse in Warwick, a primary venue for resolving family disputes. These sessions follow a structured process where judges consider all evidence presented before rendering a decision. Our familiarity with local procedures and judges provides insight and guidance to help you prepare effectively for your court appearance.

A key factor in Rhode Island's family courts is the emphasis on protecting the welfare of children involved in disputes. Judges prioritize children's well-being in custody cases, evaluating the environments each parent can provide. Our team at Assalone Lombardi, LLC ensures that all relevant information regarding parenting capabilities and children's needs is comprehensively presented, supporting outcomes that align with your family's interests.

How is child custody determined in Rhode Island?

Child custody decisions in Rhode Island are made based on the child's best interests. The court reviews several factors, including the wishes of the child and parents, the child's adjustment to home, school, and community, and the mental and physical health of all individuals involved. Judges also consider each parent's ability to foster a loving relationship with the child, as well as the willingness to cooperate with the other parent for parenting time arrangements.

In Rhode Island, shared custody is encouraged when it serves the child's best interests, allowing both parents to participate in the upbringing of the child actively. Our attorneys at Assalone Lombardi, LLC ensure that all relevant information supporting your parental rights is effectively communicated in court, aiming for resolutions that align with your family's needs. It's crucial to present a comprehensive case, highlighting your commitment to the child's wellbeing, which our team is adept at assembling with precision and care.

What is the process for securing spousal support in Rhode Island?

In Rhode Island, spousal support, also known as alimony, is determined based on several factors. Courts evaluate the length of the marriage, each party's financial resources and earning potential, and the standard of living established during the marriage. The court also looks into the time necessary for the supported spouse to acquire sufficient education or training to find appropriate employment.

Alimony is intended to support the spouse who may have less earning power and is often awarded temporarily to allow for financial transition post-divorce. Our team at Assalone Lombardi, LLC works diligently to advocate for your financial needs, ensuring that all pertinent financial information and lifestyle standards are properly presented before the court. We strive to secure alimony arrangements that reflect not just financial necessity but also fairness and reasonability corresponding to your case. We also explore amicable settlements out of court to expedite the process and reduce uncertainty.

"Veronica and her team are the best!"
Veronica and her team are the best! I had a long, drawn out, awful divorce and they were there every step of the way to answer any questions and reassure me. Ultimately, it ended in my favor because of their expertise and knowledge of the law. I can’t thank them enough for all of their hard work and sleepless nights preparing.

- Shannon C.
"Veronica and her team will get it done"
Veronica, Victoria and Jessica helped tremendously during one of the worst times of my life. They made me feel supported and heard and went the distance for me through all points of my divorce. If you need someone who is caring outside of the court room but a bulldog when inside those walls, go no further than her office. When Veronica was away, I was able to work with Victoria, who was absolutely amazing. Finally, Jessica helped with my final judgement and was able to ease my mind when needed. Though multiple hands were at play, you wouldn’t have known it. Divorce is never what anyone wants, but if you need to fight for things you believe it, Veronica and her team will get it done.
