Rhode Island Divorce Tips - Do Your Homework!

By Christopher Pearsall Platinum Quality Author



There is nothing more powerful than information. When you are headed for divorce, the more information you have the better.


What do I mean? I mean . . . do your divorce homework.


Take a look at the Rhode Island laws governing divorce and read through them.


Is it your attorney's job to guide you through the process? Absolutely.


Yet it would be ridiculous for anyone to think they will master the divorce process by the time they complete their first, second or even third divorce (if they have the displeasure of going through more than one).


By being an informed client you can think about the issues in advance and know what you would like to do in a particular situation.


Ultimately YOU are the client and you are the one who makes the major decisions on what you will and will not agree to if you want to reach a divorce settlement.


You have a substantially greater chance at being more effective, calmer and more helpful and cost efficient for your attorney if you do your divorce homework.


In this case I mean that you should read the Divorce Laws for Rhode Island which are found here.


Rhode Island Domestic Relations Laws


Not all the sections will relate to your particular case but most of the time you can pick those that aren't likely to apply.


Then, do some research at some different websites on the internet but try to be specific to Rhode Island Divorce otherwise it is very easy to become misinformed.


By doing your homework you can help your attorney and yourself get to a faster resolution.
