In Rhode Island, the custodial parent acts as the child's primary caretaker and is entitled to receive child support payments. The non-custodial parent, who shares either joint custody or visitation rights with the custodial parent, is obliged to pay child support.
Parenting time regulations Rhode Island requires courts to give the parent who does not have physical custody a minimum amount of time with the child. The child must spend at least every other weekend and one night a week with the noncustodial parent unless the court has terminated those parental rights.
While every situation is unique, grounds for unfit parenting may include: Physical or sexual abuse suffered by the child, at the hands of the parent. Parental history of domestic violence. Substance abuse and addiction leading to the neglect or mistreatment of the child.
Any child under the age of 18 does not have the final say in where they will live. However children will have input and the law actually requires the Judge to consider the reasonable preference of the child.
While Rhode Island law does not explicitly address civil annulments, courts will invalidate marriages under certain circumstances. These include incest (partners who are closer in relation than first cousins), bigamy (unresolved earlier marriage), mental incompetence, and refusal to consummate the marriage.
There is no set age when a child can decide not to visit with the other parent; when determining visitation, the Court will ultimately have to decide what is in the best interest of the child.
In Rhode Island, marital property is subject to equitable division under statute § 15-5-16.1. The assignment of property in cases of divorce is divided and managed fairly between the two spouses depending on various factors. This does not mean that property is split 50/50; rather, it is split in a just and proper way.
In Rhode Island, most parents usually share physical and legal custody in a Rhode Island joint custody arrangement. However, there may be cases where one parent having both sole physical and legal custody would be in a child's best interest.
