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.
