“The hardest thing in life is letting go of what you thought was real” — Anonymous

“The Center worked with me‚ helping me with my resume in my search to secure a better paying job. Lori then directed me to a Real Estate Agent in my search for a new home‚ and we also worked together to improve my credit and to separate my credit from my ex–spouse to improve my own financial future” — Lisa K.
Each of these services plays an important part in the whole process and must be considered with equal importance to avoid mistakes that lead to financial loss and the inability to start over.
Realistic Expectations
If you’ve felt a Divorce coming‚ you’ve probably got a lot of questions. Complicated questions. Here are some simple answers to some of the big ones.
-
If there are minor children‚ somebody is paying Child Support based on a RI State law mandated formula. It's not negotiable regardless of whatever agreement you may have with your spouse.
-
If it was a lengthy marriage and there are investments‚ pensions and maybe a 401K Plan involved in your Marital estate‚ they will almost always be divided up between the parties in some fashion. These negotiations can be complex and expensive if you disagree.
-
If you owned property or a business together‚ appraisals may be needed to determine if any equity exists to determine a settlement payout to one spouse or the other. This can be deferred for variety of reasons but it will likely require additional legal costs.
- Alimony can be granted to a former spouse in Rhode Island in certain circumstances. Consult with a licensed Attorney for a definitive determination based on your specific situation.
