Child Support
Rhode Island Child Support is generally based upon the child support guidelines produced by the Family Court. Several factors including the primary placement of the children, gross earnings or imputed income of each parent, and work related child care expenses are among things that can factor into the child support obligation. If you need to seek child support, want to review your current child support order, or advocate for a modification of support contact Nappa Law LLC today.
Grandparent’s Rights
Here at Nappa Law LLC we have experience at arguing and winning claims for grandparent’s rights when there is a substantial relationship between the grandparents and the children of divorcing or separating parents. If you are a grandparent that acts or acted as de facto parent you may have a claim for visitation privileges. Contact Nappa Law LLC today to discuss your claim.
Adoption
Are you looking into the process of adoption? If you are interested in adopting a minor child as your own child in the eyes of the law, we at Nappa Law LLC can support you and help you complete the process of adoption in the Family Court of Rhode Island. If you want to adopt your stepchild, foster child, or a minor child that is in your care, this may be possible if the biological parent or parents consent to the adoption or the Court can find grounds to terminate the birth-parent’s rights. Contact Nappa Law LLC today to discuss the possibility of adoption.
