When it comes to the division of high-asset property in family law, it's absolutely key to partner with a Rhode Island property division attorney who has a reputation for success. When it comes to finding assets, a lawyer has to know how to navigate what might be a quagmire of different corporations, business holdings, properties and investments. It's one thing to know that a case is a high-asset divorce, but it's another thing entirely to know how to undertake the research that is necessary for comprehensive discovery.
Failure to properly scrutinize a trust and associated documents as well as corporate holdings can result in a completely skewed outcome for involved parties. It's critical for attorneys to value the assets and protect investments, businesses, property, alimony, child support and maintenance.

A Warwick Family Law Firm With a History of Successful Results
One example of our results:
Stephenson v. Stephenson, 811 A.2d 1138 (RI 2002)
We represented the husband in a divorce action. During the marriage, at the persistence of the wife, the husband added her name to a number of his banking and investment accounts that he had acquired prior to the marriage. In the divorce action, the trial judge found that those accounts to which the husband added the wife's name were marital. On appeal, this office victoriously argued that the husband's property had not transmuted into marital property and established that the wife was added to the accounts as a matter of convenience. The marital estate, accordingly, was reduced by the amount contained in those accounts. The husband maintained his premarital property.
