Alimony is intended to provide financial support to a spouse for a reasonable period after a divorce, allowing the recipient time to achieve financial independence and maintain a standard of living similar to that during the marriage.
While most people expect that they will have to divide marital assets with their spouse in the event of divorce, the process of determining what is a marital asset and reaching an equitable division can be very complex.
The Law Office of Devane, Fogarty & Ribezzo has successfully represented clients in all Rhode Island Family Courts to establish, modify and enforce child support.

What happens in the process of a divorce or another family court action can have a tremendous impact on your life and your children’s lives.
