Rhode Island Contested Divorce Attorney

An Overview of Contested Divorce

If you are filing for divorce, and you and your spouse cannot agree on one or more issues regarding the separation, your divorce is said to be "contested." Contested divorces can be an extremely difficult experience, as they frequently require courtroom litigation that can be lengthy and expensive. It may be in your best interest to consult with a Rhode Island divorce attorney for legal representation that is designed to help you reach an emotionally and financially beneficial outcome to your case.

In an uncontested divorce, you and the other party would agree to all of the terms in the divorce contract, and there would be no need for the court to intervene. When your divorce is contested, however, the court makes the final decisions regarding those issues you could not agree on, such as child support, child custody, visitation, and asset division. This removes your ability to dictate the way that your divorce proceeds, and increases the potential for an outcome that is not in your favor. When you retain the help of an attorney, you have an advocate who will tirelessly pursue a positive outcome that benefits you and your loved ones.
