Divorce, Separation, Pre-marital & Martial Agreements

From our many years of experience, we know that divorce can be one of the most painful and difficult experiences that a person will go through in their life. We also know that no two cases, and no two clients, are the same. Because of this, we view our role not only as legal advocates, but also as advisors and counselors. We are versed in the divorce laws of the State of Rhode Island, and sensitive to the diverse needs of our clients. In some instances, we are consulted before marriage, for the preparation of pre-nuptial agreements that make special arrangements for pre-marital assets, or children from a prior relationship. We are consulted in connection with a divorce, when the parties have a rough idea of what would be fair- but no clue as to how set things up so that the “right” results are committed to writing in a binding, enforceable agreement. We have tried contested cases, particularly those involving psychological, medical or psychiatric issues, allegations of abuse and other difficult issues.

At the outset of your case, we will discuss your options, including the possibility for agreement, thus avoiding the time and expense associated with a contested divorce. If an agreement that is in your interest cannot be reached, we are skilled and experienced at trial law, and will litigate your case in the Rhode Island Family Courts. Our objective is to protect your legal and financial interests, and your relationships with your children. We want to provide the resources that you need to move forward with your life.

From offices in Providence, Rhode Island, and South County, Rhode Island, we handle divorce, separation and related family law matters. We generally have several interstate matters open at any given time, and have handled multi-state custody litigation relating to California, Connecticut, New York, Ohio, Florida, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Texas and Utah.

We have handled reorganization of marital businesses and assets as diverse as antiques and telecommunications, and have assisted clients in addressing the impact of substance abuse, sexual abuse, addiction, and mental illness on their children and families. Our goal is to protect the legal rights of our clients and their families, while providing them the support and assistance they need as they make important changes in their lives.

Where children are involved, issues of child custody, child support and visitation will need to be resolved. We will help you to make the decisions and to craft the solutions that are in your best interests, and those of your children and family. Often we will consult with counselors or treatment providers that have worked with the family or with your child. We are very familiar with the psychological issues that arise in families.

If you are going through a separation or divorce, you need the attention and assistance of a skilled family law attorney to protect your legal rights. Contact Timothy J. Conlon, divorce lawyers in Providence, Rhode Island, and let us put our experience and distinguished record of results to work for you.
