DO I HAVE TO GO TO COURT TO GET A DIVORCE IN RHODE ISLAND?

| Nov 2, 2017 | Divorce

We have all heard countless horror stories in which divorce become ugly, contentious, and drawn-out affairs. It comes as no surprise you would want to avoid all that unpleasantry and more. Many people try to avoid the court process while getting a divorce because they have only heard the worst of the worst regarding any outcomes they may receive. This may lead you to wonder, can I possibly obtain a divorce without ever having to go to court?

The answer this question is: it depends. For those who are in complete disagreement with their future ex-spouse, this may not be possible. However, if you and your spouse are completely in agreement about the future, especially regarding your assets, finances, and children, you may have a much better chance of avoiding the court altogether. This is known as an uncontested divorce, and it allows both parties to walk away from the marriage as amicably as possible. However, the courts may still require you attend in order to preside over a hearing. This all depends on the specifics of your case, as well as litigation team behind it. Any family law concern is best met with a legal team you can trust, and we at TJC • ESQ want to be that for you and more.
