How is Child support modified in Rhode Island divorce and family law cases?
Child support in Rhode Island is not automatically modified when there is a change in circumstances. The parent must file a motion to modify child support. When a motion for modification of child support is filed a court date will be set by the clerk of the Rhode Island Family Court. In order to modify child support there must be a substantial change in circumstances. Under RI Law, a new child support amount does not run retroactive to when the circumstances actually changed! The new child support order should run retroactive to the date of the filing of the motion. Article by Attorney David Slepkow (401-437-1100)

How do I terminate my child support obligation and stop wage garnishment in Rhode Island?
In Rhode Island (RI) child support does not automatically terminate when a child reaches 18 years old! Termination of a child support order is not automatic in Rhode Island! A child support order / obligation will only terminate if a motion to terminate child support is granted by a Judge of The Rhode Island Family Court. Unlike a motion to modify child support, a DR6 financial statement is not necessary unless there is an additional child in which a child support obligation will continue. If there is an additional child under 18 then a motion to terminate child support is really in essence a motion for modification for child support. Article by David Slepkow 401-437-1100.

One of the most talked about and controversial issues that we face today are immigration.
Immigration in general is something I am very passionate about, for many reasons.
First off, my family has been through the immigration process and knows first hand the process,
Time, money, heartache, stress and financial burdens that can take its toll on you and your family.
Many people do not understand immigration, they only know what they hear on the radio or read in the
Sunday paper. But in all reality it goes way deeper then that. Its not as simple as most people think. Especially when it comes to more complex issues such as illegal immigration which is a whole other article in itself.

Estate planning is the creation of a comprehensive financial plan to provide for your spouse and heirs upon your passing.
The old saying tells us that we can’t take it with us. It is true. The question is what we do with it then. People often start their life just trying to make ends meet. As time goes on, they begin to acquire a certain amount of wealth. If they are lucky and smart, they provide for themselves and for the people that are dependent on them while at the same time accumulating property and even more wealth. When they die, this represents their estate. Estate planning is the process that determines what happens to all of this after death.
