Rhode Island Child Support Attorney
Handling Child Support Matters in Kent County and Beyond
Child support is essential to ensure your children can maintain their living standards after a divorce. They should not suffer due to a decision to dissolve the marriage. In many cases, the Rhode Island child support guidelines are a perfectly acceptable way to determine support. In some child support cases, however, a closer look is required to ensure all parties are being cared for adequately.
At Assalone Lombardi, LLC, our lead Rhode Island child support attorney has more than 27 years of family law experience helping Rhode Island individuals navigate the complexities of divorce. Child support can be an area of contention, but it is necessary to maintain the best interests of your children.
