He recently represented me in a child custody/relocation case which resulted in an amazing outcome. Attorney Don Moyer and his legal team were efficient and effective throughout the entire process.

I'm extremely satisfied with the work Attorney Don Moyer did on my case and highly recommend him to anyone who needs representation in a family matter.
    Former Client
    “This is the lawyer to hire.”
    This is the lawyer to hire. He's my husband's lawyer and we have a complex custody/safety issue concerning his boys. Don was the only one willing to help. He's been honest, persistent, professional, and pays great attention to detail. Got us the results we desired when no one thought we had a chance. We aren't just a paycheck or a faceless stack of papers, he has been passionate and fully involved with our case. He helped everyone to see what has been ignored by too many for too long. This guy is a true advocate. I cannot thank you enough for everything so far. You will forever be a part of our family's story. You're the reason our family can have peace of mind again.

    “Don is very knowledgeable and he was able to help me get through my divorce.”
    Don is very knowledgeable and he was able to help me get through my divorce during the Covid shutdown. Don and his team were very responsive and kept me up to date with prompt notifications and relevant information. My divorce was finalized and my expectations were met with my financial settlement and custody agreement
    Former Client
    “Professional across the board.”
    Don and his team walked me through my divorce process from start to finish. He was always available, either through email, phone, or text. I appreciated his making concerted efforts to meeting my time preference while also keeping me grounded with the court system delays. I never felt pressured to take one route or the other, he was patient in explaining the circumstances for all of my decisions, and I never felt like he didn't have my best interests with all of my representation. Professional across the board, I will undoubtedly seek his council should the need arise in the future.
    Former Client
    “Don Moyer is extremely good at what he does.”
    Don Moyer is extremely good at what he does. Honest and willing to help in any way he can. I have so very much appreciation for his compassion and support. From helping to get my finances straightened out to finalizing documents, he was my calm when I was within the storm. It is with a grateful heart that I highly recommend Don and his team.
    Martha S.
    “Dedication and Intelligence”
    Don Moyer and Karissa went above and beyond with their assistance in an international divorce case. Their professionalism, caring and patience were outstanding. From virtual meetings, telephone calls and texts, everything was completed in a timely manner including preparation for a virtual court hearing. I would highly recommend this firm and Don Moyer as a lawyer with compassion and intelligence.
    Former Client
    “Don is THE lawyer to have in your corner when it comes to family law, custody, child support, you name it!”
    Don is THE lawyer to have in your corner when it comes to family law, custody, child support, you name it! Don became a part of our family. He made himself available to me day and night for our two-year "fight". I had the utmost respect for Don, and so did the entire court system here in RI. He made me feel 100% comfortable discussing my personal life with him and he made sure he did everything he could to get me all I needed and requested of him. I would gladly refer family and friends to Mr Moyer!
    Sianna McNulty
    “My experience with Moyer law was amazing.”
    My experience with Moyer law was amazing. I came in with custody issues and an uncertain future in regards to being a father. This firm was capable, understanding, and accommodating. I got everything I could have possibly hoped for through and and well on my way to the relationship I always wanted with my son. Thanks Don!!!

RI Basic Divorce Issues Overview

In an RI divorce, there are four general categories of issues that your lawyer will deal with, namely: Children, Division of Marital Estate, Alimony, and Temporary Issues. Understanding these categories will help break down the process.

Four Major Issues in a Divorce

Children: There are several sub-parts to the children category and they are: Custody, placement, visitation, support, and medical coverage.

Division of Marital Estate: The first step is to identify the marital assets and/or debt. Issues such as inheritance or pre-marital assets are relevant here. Next, you must value the assets and/or debt. Bank statements, appraisals, credit card statements, and the like help here, for example. Finally, after you determine what to divide, and its value (positive or negative), you must divide the assets. The rule of thumb is to assume a 50/50 division and vary off of that based on certain factors that may apply. As an example, the issue of fault (i.e. affairs, abuse, etc.).

Alimony: Factors such as the length of the marriage, the ability of each party to pay support, and the needs of each party are relevant here. Also, the court makes a decision regarding alimony only after making its division of the marital estate first. In an RI divorce, the courts consider alimony as “rehabilitative,” as well. Because of this, the courts will not award alimony simply due to unequal incomes. Any lawyer seeking alimony, therefore, must have a plan for their client to use the funds to “rehabilitate” themselves. For example: completing an education, or time in employment to get a promotion.

Temporary issues: Often, you will need to deal with issues such as placement of children, support, restraining orders, and use of assets (who lives in the home) prior to the final hearing on divorce. These are “temporary” issues.

Have Questions About Divorce in Rhode Island?

Moyer Law, PC Has the Answers

Have questions? We are here to help. Still have questions or can't find the answer you need? Give us a call at 401-305-2934 today!

  • What’s the difference between divorce and a legal separation?

    Getting a divorce means officially ending one’s marriage.

    A legal separation is when a married couple decides to live apart but stay married. This gives them the opportunity to work out their differences. They can then move back in together or decide to go forward with divorce. In the meantime, they will still need to work out parenting time (if they have children), property and asset division, and any other issues that arise when a married couple chooses to live apart.

  • What are the residency requirements for divorce in RI?

    To get a divorce in the state of Rhode Island, at least one party will need to prove they have been a resident of the state for no less than one year.

  • How do I choose the right divorce attorney?

    The “right attorney” will vary depending on how you want to approach your divorce.

    Here are just a few things to consider:

    • Years of experience
      • How long has the lawyer been in practice?
      • At Moyer Law, PC, we have over 25 years of experience in divorce and family law.
    • Primary practice area
      • A lawyer who focuses their entire career on one area of the law has had the chance to develop a well-rounded understanding of that area. For that reason, it’s best to work with a lawyer who primarily practices divorce/family law.
      • Our team focuses exclusively on family law, so you can rest assured that we know how to handle these cases effectively.
    • Legal approach
      • Think about what you want to get out of your lawyer. Do you want honest counsel and tailored legal services? Or do you want a more one-size-fits-all approach?
      • We are known for our honest counsel and skilled representation. With us, you’ll get the personalized service you deserve.
    • Case results
      • A lawyer may check all the boxes but simply not have the case results to show for it.
