Rhode Island Divorce Tips by Attorney Chris Pearsall

What is Your Rhode Island Divorce Lawyer's Philosophy? Are you a Lawyer's Paycheck?

If you don't know about Rhode Island divorces and how they are processed or the laws that guide the family court, that is understandable.

However, knowing your divorce lawyer's philosophy about divorce can make you or break you.  A divorce lawyer should know what his or her own philosophy is and it is a valid question to ask what a lawyer's divorce philosophy is when you interview lawyers to represent you.

What is a philosophy?  It is the underlying thought process and guiding principles by which a person does something.  For instance, there is a philosophy of law itself yet there are also different philosophies for different types of lawyers and even different philosophies for lawyers who practice in the area of divorce.

So what is the philosophy of the divorce lawyer you may be interviewing or meeting with about your case?  It is said that actions speak louder than words, but at the outset the best you may be able to do is to ask the lawyer the question, namely "What is your divorce philosophy?"  Or, "What is your philosophy for handling divorce cases?"  My personal thought is this.  If a lawyer has no idea what you are asking or does not know what you mean by a philosophy, I believe that to be a sign that the attorney you are interviewing has not thought deeply enough about their own method of handling cases and therefore you may not be happy with the attorney's representation.  

In my professional and personal opinion, any Rhode Island attorney who practices divorces, should readily know what their philosophy is.  So what should you be doing?  Well, that's your choice as a prospective client, but if I were a client I would be thinking about how I would like my attorney to approach my case and what considerations they should have in mind when addressing my case.  If the lawyer's philosophy doesn't meet the case approach or considerations that you believe you would like to be taken with your approach, then it is probably not a good match with that attorney.

My philosophy is not agreeable to every prospective client and I don't expect it to be, yet I believe my philosophy to be as noble as the principles that I endeavor to project to my clients because these principles are part of me.

My philosophy is client-centric.  The client is at the center of everything and therefore it is not a matter of the divorce lawyer dictating every step of the process.  In my divorce lawyer's philosophy I should always do several things.

1)  Listen to your legal and personal needs;

2)  Consider your financial well-being and balance any items that might need to be done in your case with the cost of those items in legal fees, etc...  In other words, is the work cost-effective.  Would you approve of what needed to be done for the possible benefit?

3)  Address matters based upon your mental and physical well-being and considering all factors in your divorce situation.  There is value to your  anxiety, grief, emotional, mental and physical well-being and health.  Isgetting an extra $1,500 for you in your settlement worth the cost to you of two extra days of stress and anxiety?  It may not be worth pursuing due to non-legal factors because your importance is far greater than just a "divorce case"  you as a whole person is most important.

4)  I consider the stress on your finances and trust.  Clients deserve respect and I must earn and keep your trust not only by your words but by my actions in your divorce.  In a divorce situation you have entrusted me with a major part of his or her life.  That is a tremendous amount of trust.  Because of this you are not a paycheck to me.  You are not a file folder.  You are a person who has placed an important part of your life in my hands.  

5)  Ultimately, my goal is always to reach a reasonable settlement for you as quickly as possible and to do it within the parameters that you find reasonable provided I advise you of all the pros and cons of each aspect of your case.  I need to do this because it is important that you be informed.  How can you make crucial decisions in your divorce without being informed by your lawyer?  You may need to have things explained to you only because they do not live in my lawyers world of technical jargon from day to day and I don't expect you to know what all the legal terms mean. So I make sure that understand it.  Plain and simple.

6)  In summary, I endeavor to settle cases reasonably, make sure youare are informed and understand everything that would go into the settlement, and help you to settle your case with as little stress, anxiety, physical drain on your system and as little drain on your finances as possible.  

7)  I serve you.  I am the way lawyers were intented to be.  No hidden agendas or motives.  You deserve my help, my respect, my honesty, my understanding of your situation and the fact that you deserve to be listened to them more than I need to be talking.  This is all about doing what is best for you as my client.

There you have it.  This is my divorce lawyer's philosophy for my clients and explains how I process cases.

My philosophy does not work for every prospective client.  Prospective clients who simply want to use my expertise to hurt or damage their spouse or cheat their spouse out of what they are entitled to from marital assets do not match my philosophy.  Could they ask me for representation just the same?  Certainly.  Would I agree?  Not likely.  I have rejected cases that could put $20,000+ in my pocket for a single case.  Yet knowing what the person wants to do is all I need to know.  

My philosophy is one of integrity for my clients and for people generally.  

Ultimately, some lawyers may bend for a price, especially in hard times when money is tight for many of us.  I will not do it.  My integrity is not for sale at any price.

Find a good divorce lawyer with integrity and a strong central morality that is designed to protect people and preserve the family unit and you have located a good divorce attorney.  If that lawyer also offers a divorce philosophy that meets your needs and financial budget then you may have found just the right divorce lawyer for you.  

Philosophy is at the center of every business man.  Ask enough questions and you will find it.  Match your needs to the business person's philosophy and you found the right lawyer (or business person) to meet your divorce needs.  This isn't just for Rhode Island.  It works for anything you need help with.

One Reason Rhode Island Divorce Lawyers Bill Against Retainers Provided by Divorce Clients?

Rhode Island Divorce lawyers have strayed away from being good-hearted and accepting payment arrangements and smaller retainers from divorce clients. 

Why?

Well, one reason is far from greed.  This story explains one major reason why most Rhode Island divorce lawyers bill against retainers and more and more are asking for larger retainers.

 

* * Attorney Goodheart's Story * * 

Attorney Natalie Goodheart was an experienced Rhode Island divorce lawyer.  When Clementine D. Vorce called Attorney Goodheart and explained her story, Attorney Goodheart was appaulled and entered into an agreement to represent Clementine for roughly a 40% reduced hourly rate.  

Attorney Natalie Goodheart was true to her name and didn't hold Clementine strictly to their written fee arrangement.  Instead, Attorney Goodheart focused on Clementine's needs rather than her own pocket and wasn't sending her a bill every other week despite the mounting hours because Clementine's needs were more important.  

It was not your typical case.  Sydney had filed suit claiming that he and Clementine were married.  Clementine's position was that she wasn't married to Sydney.  Yet Attorney Goodheart believed that Clementine was correct when it clearly appeared that Sydney simply was angry the relationship was over and wanted part of Clementine's assets despite his failure to contribute substantially to those assets during their relationship.

Unfortunately this particular Rhode Island divorce case became more difficult as it continued.  This was not due to Clementine but due to Sydney wanting more and more from Clementine's assets.  

Attorney Goodheart's work hours started mounting up on the case so from time to time she was forced to ask Clementine for a payment against all the hours that hours she was working.

Still, the Rhode Island Divorce attorney kept working for Clementine sometimes without asking for a payment for months despite the increasing hours.  

Finally, Sydney forced the Rhode Island divorce to a trial. Attorney Goodheart warned Clementine that a Rhode Island divorce trial would be costly to prepare for and undergo and could cost between $10,000 and $20,000.

Attorney Goodheart and Clementine had already made several offers to resolve the issues present in the case but they were rejected.  Clementine was understandably fed up.  Clementine informed Attorney Goodheart that she would rather pay her to fight through the Rhode Island divorce trial than to make even one more offer to resolve the case.

Attorney Goodheart prepared extensively for the trial and unlike many cases this was a common law marriage allegation so in the end there would be a winner. 

When the dust cleared Attorney Goodheart had won for Clementine. The Rhode Island Judge found there was no marriage and denied and dismissed Sydney's claims.

Attorney Goodheart's prepared the final bill for her representation at the reduced amount of 60% of her normal fee.  In addition, she decided to offer to write off another $4,000 if Clementine paid the bill in full in 30 days.

Clementine's response was not the positive one Attorney Goodheart expected, especially in light of their "win" at trial.  

Clementine offered to pay Attorney Goodheart 40% of the entire bill as payment in full.  Attorney Goodheart was upset by her client's inability to realize what she was already offering yet she agreed to meet Clementine halfway by writing off approximately 50% of her bill.

Attorney Goodheart was astounded by the response.  Clementine once again offered Attorney Goodheart the same offer after picking apart the Rhode Island Divorce attorney's performance during the case and the trial and clearly indicating that Attorney Goodhearts services were only worth 40% of the entire bill.

In the end, Attorney Goodheart decided that she wasn't about to let that much work go unpaid.  A Notice of Appeal to the Rhode Island Supreme Court was filed and Attorney Goodheart terminated the attorney/client relationship and gave notice that she intended to collect on the entire debt.

This is on reason why Rhode Island Divorce lawyers bill against retainers and are more and more being less "Good-hearted" and requiring higher retainers.  

There are many people who don't pay their divorce lawyers for the good work they do, even when their fees are reduced and the divorce lawyers agree to take a big hit on their fees.  

Several Rhode Island attorneys who had the tendency to be "good-hearted" have shared with me that being "good-hearted" just landed them 3 times more clients that don't pay them than the ones that do and their receivables were huge.  These attorneys lost several times more money than they make without the ability at tax time to reclaim any of their unpaid hours which may be lost forever.  

Many RI divorce lawyers have learned that being good-hearted often leads to bankruptcy because the lawyer needs to be paid and good intentions of clients don't pay very many bills. 

The fact is, many lawyers are not fat cats with condos, summer homes, boats, planes, large bank accounts, etc.....  Some attorneys make much less than clients simply because clients won't pay a good-hearted attorney's bill.

Clients who don't pay their divorce attorneys cause a circular pattern which increases fees and causes rates and retainers to rise.

Perhaps derrogatory jokes about lawyers should end and jokes are more appropriate for the deadbeat clients who cause the polycentric problem of higher retainers and rates that attorneys need to charge to survive.

Yet for those of us who retain an optimistic hope, we are willing to work for a reasonable legal fee for clients who will actually pay our bills.

The True Divorce Victims - An Easter Wakeup Call from Bob Kerr and one Child's Story!

Bob Kerr: Here’s a girl who needs the adults to listen to her

01:00 AM EDT on Sunday, April 24, 2011

She is pretty and smart and wants to be a veterinarian. But she thinks about being a photographer, too, or an artist. And sometimes she wonders if she could combine all her interests into one very full future.

But she is only 11, and on Wednesday she had to negotiate with her father to spend two more days with her mother. She is a child of divorce, and she finds her choices, the really important ones, are seldom hers to make.

She is the person least heard and yet most affected by the endless court battles, the petty skirmishes, the failure or refusal of Family Court to say “enough.”

A few months ago, she put it all down in a letter to the court. It’s a “Dear Judge” letter, and the first line gives you an idea of how some kids in Rhode Island have their childhoods messed up by a system that doesn’t work.

“Dear Judge: When the police came to escort me into my dad’s car, I was talking to the policeman and he said he wanted me to write you a letter so here it is.”

She’s 11 years old and she’s getting advice from a cop, a cop caught in that strange territory where no cop wants to go. This time, it was a visit with one parent that went longer than the custody agreement allowed. So the police were called. It really does get that dumb, petty and hurtful. She ran around to the back of her mother’s house to try to avoid the unavoidable.

Once, she and her sister were in a Stop & Shop and saw their mother and weren’t allowed to run over and give her a hug.

And consider this from a District Court judge who has seen and heard a lot about this girl and her sister:

“I am satisfied that these children have been subjected to inquiries so many times that what they say can no longer be accepted at face value. They have been interrogated by teachers. They have been interrogated by parents, by a stepparent, by DCYF workers, by police people. It’s just dreadful what’s happened to them.”

They are casualties. They have lost so much to the mad competition of divorce and the endless grind of Family Court. They are not the kids they might have been. Being carefree is not easy when the adults keep slamming away and the police show up.

And it continues, as Family Court cases do. This girl has lived with divorce for 9 of her 11 years. It’s really all she’s ever known. Being driven to a police station parking lot in South County so she can be transferred from one parent to the other is just part of growing up

“It’s tough to plan stuff, to know where I’m going to be,” she says.

“I want to go with my mom, but I don’t really have a choice.”

We talked at Brewed Awakenings in South County Commons. She had orange juice. She told me she really, really likes Justin Bieber. She has shirts, posters. Asthma keeps her from playing soccer as she’d like to, but she plays tag with friends. She likes to dance. She isn’t too crazy about video games.

When her grandmother died, she created a website for mourning the loss.

She’s good to talk to. At 11, she seems to understand too well that she’s caught in the middle and that parents, judges, social workers, therapists and the occasional police officer will have far too much to say about where she goes and who she sees.

Divorce runs widely among the kids she knows. They compare notes.

“A lot of my friends have parents who are divorced,” she says. “Some of them get along. The stepparents are nice. They kind of get to choose.”

Her sister stays with her father and stepmother. She moves back and forth, although she says she wants to stay with her mother. That might give her some small sense of stability, but stability does not seem part of the plan. In her “Dear Judge” letter, she says she doesn’t think it’s fair that she can’t go to the place where life makes the most sense.

I have talked to kids before who have endured this unfair, unreasonable, cruel assault on their childhoods. And it is impossible to assess the full damage or know how severely parents have poisoned the family well.

But this girl knows. She can talk about it. And everybody involved — couples in divorce and all the people who work in that gold mine of billable hours called Family Court — should listen to her. They should hear from the most important person in the whole crazy mess. They should learn of the harm they cause by not resolving things, by letting cases go on and on while kids accept more and more mad, crazy stuff into their lives.

Come on, no 11-year-old should have to be escorted by a police officer because her parents can’t agree on the exact minute to move her from one version of home to the other.

That’s nuts. And it’s one more bad sign that young lives will continue to get screwed up by a process that can’t seem to settle much of anything.

Comment by Attorney Christopher A. Pearsall

Thank you Bob for a wakeup call to those in the legal process who are not looking out for these young victims of divorce.  

For those of my brethren who disregard children as collateral damage in the legal system, I hope this article causes you to "think twice" about the consequences of your actions to the children each time you take an action (billable or not) in a divorce involving children.

There is no doubt that we need to do more.  One child lost in a divorce who might have been saved . . . is simply one child too many.    

Are You Headed Toward a Rhode Island Divorce? Make RI Divorce Amicable!

The best RI Divorce is an amicable one.  That's my opinion of course.  Lawyers who insist on paying for their Jaguars, BMWs, boats, planes, summer homes, and much more might well disagree with me.  My humble divorce coaching and lawyering opinion here might differ on this issue because I can do without all the "stuff" they have or want that they have to pay for.
 

After all, how would a Rhode Island lawyer pay for this "stuff" and maximize their income to do so? Well, he or she could have an extremely high billable rate.  Yet that alone wouldn't do it. 
 

So what would help a Rhode Island lawyer pay for all the "stuff" he or she may need to have in their life?
 

Let me make a suggest this one word...CONFLICT.
 

Conflict causes parties to grow even further apart, fight more, require more time, require more meetings, require more court hearings, require more meetings with your lawyer, require more motion filings in your divorce case, cause more arguments and cost more money.
 

Are all Rhode Island divorces and all Rhode Island divorce lawyers like this?  Of course not!  It's not right or fair to generalize things in such a way that we're all bad or that lawyers we are all crooks.  There are plenty of good lawyers out here trying to help people but when we're looked at in this way, how can you find us if we're all crooks or liars trying to steal your money.
 

Remember, Rhode Island Divorce Lawyers and Coaches are just like you.  We have families to feed, lives to live, and bills to pay.  This is how we do it... with intense knowledge and education that we gained painstakingly over years of schooling and experience.  There is tremendous value in what we offer.
 

Do you want to really do yourself a favor?  Then read this part over and over.  It's not meant to be anything other than common sense.
 

It is your Rhode Island divorce, yours and your spouses.  It doesn't belong to the judge.  It doesn't belong to the filing spouse.  It doesn't belong to the spouse who was served papers.  And it doesn't belong to either of your lawyers if you have one.  It is both of yours!
 

When you got married you both agreed that you belonged together.  That's what your marriage was about.  You both had to agree that you belonged with each other.  If one of you didn't agree then the marriage wasn't going to happen, right?  Of course!  That's how men or women get "left at the altar" and the marriage doesn't happen.  One doesn't agree at the last minute for whatever reason.  It's a contract.
 

Now that's essentially your marriage.  It's a contract.  Now just use 10 seconds of logic instead of emotion, hatred, anger or whatever may cause the breakdown of the relationship.  Divorce is simply the realization that one or both of you coming to the conclusion . . . I don't agree that we belong together for the future.  It could be caused by anything, or nothing at all, or for all the wrong reasons.  Yet in the end the divorce can be thought of as the Rhode Island Family Court helping each of you to part company reasonably in your divorce with whatever property, etc... that you should reasonably and equitably (fairly) leave the contract with in order to continue on your separate ways and be able to survive.
 

Here are a few good Rhode Island Divorce Lawyer's Coaching tips:
 

1)  Realize that just like both of you had to agree to make your marriage work, only one of you has to disagree that being a couple at this time is agreeable for a divorce to work but the divorce belongs to both of you.  There are two parties in a marriage.  There are two parties in a divorce.  You each own both.
 

2)  You can act reasonably with one another to dissolve the contract fairly and reasonably by communicating with one another and reaching a settlement.  Or you can get angry and try to get more than you may be entitled to or try to hurt the other person and then the Rhode Island Divorce Lawyers can get wealthier while you go broke rather than simply going to a good counselor and dealing with your emotional issues separately.
 

3)  Separate the emotions you have in the relationship from the fact that the contract is needs to be dissolved and that it is to your benefit to put your emotions aside and deal with the contract in the court and with the emotions with a good therapist.
 

4)  No matter how big the marital estate is.  No matter what caused one or both parties to decide to separate their marriage contract, the best solution to every case as an amicable and reasonable settlement arrived at by the parties by their own agreement.
 

The world doesn't need to "go to hell in a hand basket" as my grandmother used to say.  There are still decent people left in this world and there are lots of them.  Sometimes they just need a little help from someone who cares.
 

Personally, I don't have a lot of "stuff."  I like a perk or two every now and then and usually get something for myself after its considered obsolete.  I buy new things when they are necessary or when it comes to running my divorce coaching practice and the necessities for my clients because other than my own marriage, my clients are my first priority.
 

If helped quite a few people.  It's very likely I can help you.  I don't want your world to go to "hell in a hand basket" or for you to go broke.
 

Call me for a paid Coaching and Advice Session at (401) 632-6976.
 

 Clients are surprised how much I can cover with them at just $135 for one hour.
 

Isn't your world worth only $135?  Then Call.

A Rhode Island Divorce Lawyering and Coaching Tip for RI Divorce Self-Defense

 

As a Rhode Island Divorce lawyer I can tell you that if you disregard the emotions that divorce brings on and the irratic behavior that results from those emotions then you are setting yourself up for a world of hurt.

Divorce brings about the worst in people and while I'd prefer not to dwell on the negative side of divorce litigants and the tragedy they cause to others, I cannot ignore that they exist, nor should you.  In fact, ignoring the emotional fallout of a Rhode Island divorce is a mistake. 

Do not underestimate what a scorned or upset spouse may resort to in order to hurt you emotionally or to get in your divorce.  I could tell you stories that chances are you would not believe.

I myself as a divorce lawyer have had to take protections from clients and opposing parties who "went off."

So take the following minimal divorce coaching advice with the degree of seriousness it deserves. 

Protect Yourself! 

This includes your children, your home, your computer, your cellular phone, your automobiles, your home phone, your bank of accounts, your place of employment and yes even your garbage!

You are a person.  You have your privacy.  You expect it to be free from invasion.  Often it is not!  Hackers and surveillance specialists are everywhere.  Now whether you care to believe it or not, there are people in and around Rhode Island who are available for hire to break into your home, track your car, hack into your computer or bug it, use audio devices to overhear your conversations, and violate both your state and federal rights. 

Yes, people will resort to ciminal acts get at every aspect of your life because they are angry.  If you think that your spouse's overzealous attorney is the devil incarnate but you don't believe they would do anything illegal, unethical or underhanded for their client then think again.

You cannot take too much care to protect your privacy.  Your spouse who was calm for years can turn into your worst nightmare because he or she is a bubbling teapot just waiting to blow off years of steam that you never saw coming.

I will write more articles on specifics, but let me emphasize the importance of this. 

You CANNOT take too much care to protect your privacy. 

Your privacy is your personal space.  It is where you believe you are secure and safe.  Yet make no mistake about it . . . it can be invaded and you can be victimized in less than 20 minutes.

Yes, 20 minutes or less.  Take this tip to heart. It only takes minutes to create destruction, phony emails, false phone records, forged documents, fraudulent bank records, bogus child pornography and more. 

It can occur at work in your desk drawer, on your laptop, in your car, on your personal computer at home or on your cel phone or PDA.

If you don't look out for these things and your Rhode Island Divorce lawyer does not take them with the level of seriousness they deserve and keep up to speed by knowing about the fundamentals to advise you, then you could be a victim who gets less than you deserve in a divorce. 

If you are portrayed as a pervert you may not get to see your children for weeks on end.  You may lose  your right of legal custody.  You may even be ordered to attend rehabilitation or even sent to the ACI because of fraudulent documents brought forth in your divorce that show you to be addicted to drugs or a child pornographer.

Don't let it happen!  Be aware.  Remain vigilant and know that it can happen.  Protect yourself.  If you don't, you have no one else to blame but yourself.

I'm here to help you be aware of these things and to coach you on protective measures.  Many attorneys don't know these things or don't care because directly that is not their JOB.  I understand that. 

Yet they are dealing with YOUR LIFE!  And your life IS their job in my personal opinion!  The law isn't going to protect you, even with the best lawyer, if you don't know the protective measures to take against people who are willing to violate the law.

I will be happy to have a Coaching Session with you for 1 hour for $135 to help you with these issues and make you aware of them.  Too much money?  The consequences could be tens of thousands of dollars.  It could mean the loss of your privacy.  It could mean criminal charges.  It could mean supervised visitation with your children. 

The time to pay attention to these things is before you become a divorce victim, not when it's too late.

I will not live or die on $135.00 for that hour.  It will not make me or break me.  It is not worth anything to try to screw anyone out of $135.00 since people seem to believe that every lawyer is just out for your money.  If you think this is too much, that's okay.  Don't call and know that I wish you the best.

With what I have seen and what I know, if $135 isn't worth it to you to know what can happen, how it happens and how to protect yourself from it, then I wish you the best.  Too many people could have used my help before it happens.  Too many people contact me too late.

I'm here to help and just make a living.  Good lawyers who truly care about people do exist in Rhode Island.  I do not hesitate to say that I'm living proof of it and I'm here for you if and when you need be.

Just remember, protect yourself.  Awareness that your privacy is at risk is crucial in every Rhode Island divorce.
