Areas of Practice

Divorce, separation, marital agreements: Our law firm works with clients in the many complex issues that develop in divorces and separations — especially those involving complex custody or property issues.

Division of marital assets: When substantial assets are involved, or one is dealing with assets accumulated over multiple generations, the division of marital assets can be a difficult issue.

  • 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 involved 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 a divorce case. We are experienced in electronic discovery work 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 trial of a support claim.

Child custody, support, and visitation: If child custody and parenting time are contested issues in your divorce, we can help you understand your rights and 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.

  • 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 assist 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.

Post-divorce litigation: 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.

Domestic violence: We have assisted clients in addressing the impact of abuse, addiction, and mental illness on their children and families.

Child sexual abuse: 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.

Children's rights and defense: Our firm can advise you on the following issues:
