Not everyone in a Rhode Island divorce needs a lawyer for everything in the divorce.

A little help filing the divorce packet to make sure everything is covered may be just what the coach ordered.

Or perhaps you need the legal advice to know your rights and what to expect in the whole process both legally and procedurally throughout the divorce.  The divorce coach is on the job for you.

Maybe you aren't even concerned about these two things and you want help with what to say at the hearing so that everything goes smoothly at your nominal divorce hearing.  Once again, a Rhode Island divorce coach is just what you need to get the job done.

Take this example:

John was able to handle the filing paperwork without too much difficulty and he worked out an agreement with his wife but John has looked at the questions provided by the court and some of them don't seem to apply to his situation.  John wants things to be over and done with and
needs to get back to work if he can right after the hearing.  John isn't really sure about what to say or how to conduct the hearing.

John has heard that the judge he will be in front of will not help him in the slightest when his hearing comes up so he wants to be prepared.  John calls a few divorce lawyers but they will not help him simply for the divorce hearing itself.  The lawyers want $1,500.00 to get involved and encourage John to get a continuance.  John is frustrated.

John hears about my divorce coaching and gives me a call. I get John right into my office because he only has until tomorrow morning and thankfully I have an available coaching slot.  Within a few hours John feels good about his hearing.  He is comfortable that he can handle it well.

The next day John calls me after the hearing with the good news.  The judge was happy with the process because it took only ten (10) minutes from beginning to end and John was able to get back to work in record time and didn't lose too much time from work.

For only $135 John was able to call me and get the coaching help he needed, when he needed it to fit his needs when other lawyers wouldn't do it for him.  John got just what he needed.  He got the service when he needed it.  Yet most importantly John achieved the result he wanted to achieve for a price that he felt was well worth it.

In fact, to make it easier for him, since John wasn't familiar with the preparation and entry of the temporary order then final decree and he had a busy schedule, he came back to me for two (2) more coaching sessions to cover these separate issues and I helped John make sure his Rhode Island divorce decision and his Final Judgment of Divorce were prepared and ready for him to enter right on time.  In the end, John saved time and money by engaging me to help him with these two important facets of his Rhode Island divorce proceeding.

By John's account, I saved him money and aggravation and he had the confidence of knowing that since his divorce coach is an experienced Rhode Island divorce lawyer that it was done right.  When all was said and done, John was thrilled with the coaching service and John received a compliment from the judge for making sure he had done his homework and was prepared for his divorce proceeding properly.

Coaching is a helping hand by a legal professional when you need it.  Finally, a legal service that helps you on the level that you need it, when you need it, without all of the extras you don't need and shouldn't pay for.  

Do you have a Rhode Island Divorce or family law court matter or problem that you are uncertain of, need help with, or need a second opinion on from a highly qualified and experienced lawyer with a law practice focused exclusively in Rhode island Divorce and Family Law?  

Welcome to my RI divorce and family law practice, The Rhode Island Divorce & Family Law Institute.

I am dedicated to providing the high quality services that you need, when you need them, at unbelievably affordable prices, when other divorce and family law lawyers licensed in Rhode Island will not.

Skeptical?  Is your legal issue worth spending $135 for services that are worth more than double that amount?  If your legal issue isn't worth spending $135, then clearly it isn't important enough to you to even contact a lawyer, so why bother.

I welcome you to contact me to set up your Coaching, Advice and Case Evaluation Session. Each session is a minimum of 1 Hour and costs only $135.00.  

Sessions were previously only available in my office by appointment during business hours.  However, due to popularity and demand for these services, appointments are now available via conference calls by telephone with prepayment by Mastercard, Visa or Discover.  Telephone appointments are available in early evening hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays if scheduled in advance and reserved with a credit card deposit of $25.00.

Rhode Island Divorce & Family Law Coaching is the legal practice of the future .... NOW!




I'm a Rhode Island lawyer focusing my practice exclusively in the areas of Rhode Island Divorce and Family law.  I am fully aware that divorce can be extremely complicated and often times they are beyond what the pro se individual can handle on their own.  There are a tremendous number of legal issues and questions that rely upon each other and must be considered by Rhode Island lawyers in a divorce in order to properly plan and protect a client, especially when a Marital Settlement Agreement is needed.

Yet I still recommend using a Rhode Island Divorce Coach if you can do it.  How do you know if you can do it?  Go to the coach, meet with him or her, and by the end of the first session you should have enough information to know whether or not the matter is too complicated to handle merely with coaching or whether it is something you can handle.

The concept is simple.  If a divorce lawyer knows how to deal with your issues and you explain your issues to the lawyer, doesn't it make sense that if the divorce lawyer explains the law and the procedure to you as well as the pros and the cons of the decisions you are facing, that you then have the information you need to deal with your Rhode Island divorce issues or situation.  Absolutely!  Yet the lawyer has played a lesser role in the process.  He or she hasn't entered his or her appearance as your attorney, hasn't had to show up at court on your behalf, doesn't have to docket/calendar your Rhode Island hearing dates.  The lawyer has merely taught you what you need to know in your situation. 

The result?  The Rhode Island lawyer has done less.  Thus, he or she can remain a "coach" and you pay less for this coaching than you would for representation.

Rhode Island divorce coaching is especially effective in uncontested RI divorces because the issues are less, the time required is less, and the coaching is less.  The less complicated your matter is, the less time is needed to coach you and thus you save more money while still getting quality legal direction so you can be informed and protect yourself in your uncontested divorce proceeding.

Rhode island Divorce coaching works for many things, from custody battles to full trials, but ultimately it is best utilized by those who have uncontested divorces.  It saves you time and money but insures that you have the legal information you need to make critical decisions and insure that your uncontested divorce proceeds as smoothly as possible.

Do you have a divorce that you believe is (or can be) uncontested?  Call for your coaching appointment.  In the very least you will get the information you need to make informed decisions and get the direction you need to gain peace of mind that things are going to be just fine because you now understand what is going to happen or can happen.

It's New!  It's Innovative!  It Works!

In a Rhode Island Divorce "pre-marital" assets are determined by the judge assigned to your divorce case.

However, Rhode Island family court judges are guided by statutes and cases decided by our Rhode Island Supreme Court when determining which assets are "pre-marital."

Generally, pre-marital assets are outside the power of the Rhode Island Family Court to divide, distribute, or control in a Rhode Island divorce proceeding.  

However, assets only fall outside the power of the Rhode Island Family Court after the judge assigned to your divorce determines that an asset is, in fact, a pre-marital asset.  Until that time, an asset is part of your divorce and falls within the power of the court and the laws and orders regarding divorces.

A pre-marital asset is an asset owned by only one spouse prior to the marriage, and remains completely separate from the other spouse during the marriage.  This includes, its ownership, its storage, its replacement, its repair, its enhancement, any insurance on the asset, and any other aspect of the marital relationship and/or income. 

If during the marriage an asset was treated or preserved in any way, legally or practically, which indicates that it was owned by both spouses, then the asset's character may change from pre-marital to marital.

Keep in mind that any change in value of a "pre-marital asset" during the marriage may be treated as a marital asset.  For example, Deborah buys a diamond ring at an estate sale while she is single.  Deborah marries Francis.  During Deborah's twenty-five (25) year marriage to Francis, the diamond ring appreciates in value by 30%.  Even though the ring may be a pre-marital asset and typically not within the power of the Rhode Island Family Court Judge to divide and distribute, the 30% appreciation of the ring during the marriage may be considered a marital asset if the Judge determines it to be so because it occurred while Deborah and Francis were married.
