Initially, the auto insurance companies may determine that the other vehicle had the right of way because that's the way they think, but there is Rhode Island case law stating that if the car ahead of you stops for something you have a duty to determine why before proceeding. The fact that... Read more »

How can he see her roll and not even be able to write the correct information that is directly in front of his face?
Yes, you could fight the ticket on a technical basis, however if you go to trial and the office testifies that he stopped your daughter and that your daughter is one who committed the infraction, then the Court will almost always considered this technicality as a non-issue.

Unless the child support order that you currently have was separated into two amounts, one for each child, you are going to want it to be modified because that order won't be reduced to an amount appropriate to one child on its own. Either parent can move to modify based on a change of... Read more »

If you're in a separate household the Rhode Island Family Court could order you to pay child support. Usually, it's because the other parent or the state on behalf of the other parent is requesting it.
The mother of my child is on state help (section 8/neighborhood health etc.). The state of RI on her behalf came after me to provide the health insurance for the child through my job, which I did. Now the child support was never adjusted taking insurance into consideration. Am I able to have the... Read more »
I don't think the state will do that for you but you can ask the Rhode Island Family Court to make the change in placement and they will do so if it is in the best interests of the child. In addition, if you have the child half the time or close to half the time, you could ask the court to use... Read more »

I think you have to be careful in these situations because you can get dragged into court in MA if you don't act first in Rhode Island. You can still get dragged into court in MA if you file in Rhode Island, but if you can establish to a judge in Rhode Island that your son is living here then... Read more »
Probably not. If you are in Dorchester and the case is in Rhode Island then you can't be made to go from Dorchester to testify in Rhode Island. Usually there is a subpoena that is served on you. If it were served upon you in Rhode Island then that's one thing, but if it were served on you... Read more »
Yes. Unlike a residential lease, a commercial lease is not regulated as its a contract between businesses and agreed upon terms are not restricted. Hopefully that helps.
Consult with an attorney to explore your options. If you have a child in common, it is important to sort out custody and support issues soonest.
Or would the dead son's half get passed to his heirs? The wording on the will is just that the remainder of her money gets split evenly between son 1 and son 2.
Get a copy of that will and make an appointment to meet with your local probate attorney to discern whether the intention of the testator is per capita, or per stirpes.

Begin by speaking with your child about anything you believe might be a harm to him or her. Follow up with the child's father. Try to avoid phrasing it as blame and encourage him to focus on what the child needs. If that does not work then consider a change to the schedule. If there is no... Read more »

A Rhode Island attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. One option, as a starting point, might be to see if a local elected official could help, based on the level of hazard and the age of the child. Good luck

I'm on Interstate Parole. I had a violation and had to go back and serve 90 days. Upon release and arrival back to Rhode Island, a GPS monitor was attached. The first time I had a monitor, it was for 90 days. I did not get any marks then.
However, it has been six months since I... Read more »
