Divorce, Separation and Marital Agreements

Our law firm works with clients to resolve the many complex issues that develop in divorces and separations, including:

  • We can assist you with the division of marital assets when substantial assets or assets accumulated over multiple generations are involved in your divorce.
  • Our lawyers can help you with asset protection, working with tax and estate planning professionals to minimize the costs associated with the transfer of assets, identify marital and non-marital assets and keep the assets in the family.
  • When a business is one of the assets in a divorce, we have the experience and network of resources it takes to assist you in the process of determining a fair business valuation.
  • We have handled reorganization of marital businesses and assets as diverse as antique dealers and telecommunications companies.
  • Technology now plays an important part in divorce cases. We are experienced in electronic discovery, working with experts to find hidden assets and document evidence of infidelity.
  • If spousal support (alimony) is at issue in your divorce or separation, we will provide you with guidelines and advice regarding the factors to consider in negotiation or at trial.
  • We can help you take control of your divorce through divorce mediation.

We also assist clients in uncontested divorce where both parties are in agreement and with post-divorce litigation. Additionally, when circumstances change, the original divorce decree may need to be modified with respect to custody, child support, spousal support or property division. We handle motions to modify, and post-final judgment complaints.

Child Custody, Support and Visitation

If child custody, visitation or parenting time are contested issues in your divorce, we can help you understand your rights and protect the best interests of the children. We work frequently with counselors and psychologists to attempt to resolve such disputes, and help the family move forward with their separate lives, while preserving the relationships that matter so much.

  • We handle all aspects of custody and visitation litigation. Whether it is in the context of a divorce, after final judgment or in a case where there never was a marriage, we can help you resolve custody issues such as who has say over the child, where the child resides and disputes about the children's activities or education.
  • Our law firm can help you with interstate custody and visitation issues, assuring that Rhode Island orders are enforced out-of-state, and enforcing parenting time and custody orders from other states that have jurisdiction over a child.
  • When the custodial parent moves, what happens to the custody and visitation agreement? We can help in making arrangements when parents are from out of state – or when a parent needs court approval to move custodial relocation matters.
  • We assist clients in stepparent adoptions, foster parent adoptions, grandparent adoptions, and other adoptions and guardianship issues.
  • Our law firm helps grandparents and other family members seek visitation and custody rights.

Domestic Violence and Child Abuse

We have assisted clients in addressing the impact of abuse, addiction and mental illness on their children and families. We can help you with domestic violence and children's rights issues.

Attorney Tim Conlon is well known for his involvement in high profile clergy abuse cases in Rhode Island. Our firm also handles cases involving teacher and other institutional abuse.
