Updated Child Support Guidelines and Schedule have been entered by the Rhode Island Family Court, effective July 1, 2023, which amend the last entered orders from 2017-2018.

The Income Shares Model is still used in child support calculations in Rhode Island which considers the combined monthly gross income from both parents in order to set a child support obligation that aims to allow the children to maintain the same level of expenditures as if the children were living in an intact family unit.

Unless you've signed a legally binding employment contract, you are probably considered an employee "at will" and have the freedom and flexibility to move about in the job market. Employers also enjoy freedom and flexibility in deciding when to hire (and fire) employees making the employer-employee relationship a two-way street.

Note: an employment offer letter is not to be confused with a legally binding employment contract.

Mediation is one form of alternative dispute resolution whereby a mediator serves as a neutral third party and does NOT represent either party, but instead serves to assist the parties in coming up with terms of an agreement in attempt to streamline the process and reduce animosity and litigation costs.

It is important to note that while mediators are often attorneys, once the attorney-mediator is engaged for mediation services, they cannot later be retained for legal services with respect to the matter at issue.
