RHODE ISLAND DIVORCE ATTORNEY

There are not many decisions in life as difficult as the decision to end one's marriage. Often times this difficult decision not only affects one's own future but that of small children. Unfortunately, statistics indicate that well over half of all marriages end in divorce. Often times emotions run very high during a divorce process. The Hunter Law Office is well prepared to help you navigate through the divorce process. With the Hunter Law Office you will have a Rhode Island Divorce Attorney that will help you obtain a fair and equitable divorce settlement, while focussing on preserving one's dignity and respect.

In Rhode Island there are two types of Divorces: Fault and No-Fault. No-fault divorces are generally based on the concepts of either irreconcilable differences, or that the parties have been living separate and apart for at least 3 years. Divorces based upon fault are usually the result of either: Impotency, Adultery, Extreme Cruelty, Desertion, Drunkenness, Drug Abuse or Neglect.

After establishing the grounds for divorce the Rhode Island Divorce Attorney at the Hunter Law Office will address issues such as property division, child support, alimony and child custody.

Rhode Island uses the principle of “Equitable Division”, which means the Court will divide the marital assets and liabilities as it deems equitable. Equitable does not necessarily mean “fair”. At the Hunter Law Office, you will have a Rhode Island Divorce Attorney that will work with you to get you the divorce settlement you deserve.

In Rhode Island, Divorce cases follow one of two different paths through the Court system, Uncontested and Contested. In an uncontested Divorce the parties both agree that the marriage is over, and also agree on the division of marital assets and liabilities. If the parties cannot agree on these issues then the case would be handled as a contested divorce and proceed to trial where a judge would decide if one or the other were at fault for the divorce, and how the marital assets and liabilities will be divided. Uncontested Divorces generally take less time (9 months) to process, and are less costly than Contested Divorces.
