Frequently Asked Questions
What are the residency requirements for divorce in Rhode Island?
You or your spouse must have lived in Rhode Island for at least one year before filing for divorce. If the marriage took place in Rhode Island and one spouse still lives here, the one-year wait may be waived.
How long does a divorce take in Rhode Island?
An uncontested divorce can take 60 to 90 days from filing. A contested divorce may take 6 months to a year or more, depending on court schedules and the complexity of issues like custody or assets.
Does Rhode Island require separation before divorce?
No, Rhode Island does not require a legal separation period. You can file for divorce immediately if you meet residency requirements, though a no-fault divorce requires stating that the marriage is irretrievably broken.
