A Dream Comes True for the Rhode Island Divorce Coach!

This isn't an article of any real divorce substance.  Rather it is something dreams are made of.

I remember sitting on my grandmother's couch as she watched me and my mother went off to work during the summer.  I wasn't the kind of kid who was creative then so I gravatated to whatever was hanging around.  For me it was comic books.  For whatever reason, my grandmother liked comic books.  Perhaps she bought them to keep me entertained.

Whatever the reason, I remember my introduction to Superheros such as Batman, Superman, Thor, Spriderman and The Green Lantern.  As a young child they were the things legends and dreams were made of and I quickly developed a dream of wanting to help people in an ununsual and almost superhuman type manner.  

Of course reality has a way of setting in as we get older and I soon learned little differences between myself and Superman.  I am limited by gravity and the laws of physics and Superman was not.  Yet I still dreamed of making a big difference in the world.  Have I made it yet as a Rhode Island Divorce Lawyer and Coach, perhaps.... but I doubt it.

As age creeps up on me and my Rhode Island Divorce and Coaching practice continues, I wonder when my moment might come.  

Many of us have bad days.  Friday was one such day and I wasn't feeling too good about myself.  Surprisingly I received a particular Facebook email that changed my thoughts from my difficult date of Rhode Island Divorce practice to thoughts of my youth and making a difference.

A new Facebook friend emailed me to tell me that while checking in on Facebook her young son of 7 or 8 was standing behind her as she clicked on my Facebook home page.  It presented pictures of my younger days.  It was a time when I was in good shape and had a different hair style.  

Suddenly the mother was pushed aside by her young son who had been peering over her shoulder.  Pointing to a picture of me he said, "Mom, I can't believe you didn't tell me that you know IronMan!"  My female facebook friend immediately sent me a Facebook email and told me about the mistaken identity.

Although it was clearly a mistaken identity, I recalled clients who have thanked me and called me their hero for getting them their son back or resolving vacation visitation or settling their divorce faster than expected.  Many of us want to be heros in many different ways.  Yet maybe we are but we're just missing those moments and dismissing them.

I always wanted to be a hero.  To some people maybe I have been a hero.  For a few seconds I was a true hero for a young little boy with a true joy and excitement that his mother knew IronMan.  For all of 10 seconds I helped a child to believe in someone true, honorable and good in a world that can be very much the opposite when see other sides of it.  

Though I've tried to embody all that is true, honorable, honest, good, and noble in this world, to feel like a hero even for a split second is truly a gift.

Yet it reminded me of those younger days and I remembered.  Dreams do come true.  Maybe not when we'd like them to.  Maybe not for as long as we'd like them to.  Maybe not in the way we'd like them to.  But dreams do come true.

In one shining moment this little child reminded me of all the good I have done for people in over a decade working with children and spouses in need of my help and yes . . . for all of 10 seconds I was IronMan!

Thank you Joey (for lack of his real name) for brightening my day and making a lifelong childhood dream come true.

Whatever you do, divorce or not, remember to dream.

[ Please note that this article was re-written correctly.  It was accidentally posted in its previous form on my RhodeIslandDivorceTips.com website due to an autosave function when I passed out on my bed after a very grueling day and the computer finally ran out of power on my lap at 1 a.m. or so.  Admittedly I learned that even 10 second superheros need to sleep. ]


Divorce Lawyers in RI - Need to Terminate Your RI Child Support? Child Support Coaching May be all You Need!

I'm a divorce lawyer in RI who focuses my law practice exclusively on family law.  Believe it or not, some people just need a little coaching when it comes to how to properly go about terminating their child support in the Rhode Island family court. 

 

 - PATRICK'S CHILD SUPPORT TERMINATION - 

Patrick's Rhode Island child support case is a good example.  Patrick has been paying on a Rhode Island child support order for the past nine (9) years for his daughter, Constance.  Constance is not disabled and she has no mental health illnesses justifying any extended child support.

Constance graduated from high school.  She was going to turn 18 years of age in about three (3) months.  Patrick already knows that his child support should end sometime around the time that Constance turns age 18.  

 

 - FREE CONSULTATION INFORMATION - 

Patrick doesn't want to spend money on a lawyer so he calls a around and gets two (2) free consultations set up and then a RI Family Law coaching and Advice session with me for a full hour for only $135.  By the end of the second consultation Patrick believes he has figured it out.  He knows Constance needs to be 18 which he learned from his first free consultation. From the second free consultation Constance also needs to have graduated from high school before his child support can end.  

 

 - PATRICK'S EFFORT TO SAVE MONEY - 

Patrick cancels his Rhode Island Family Law Coaching and Advice Session to save himself $135.00. 

Patricks feels that the free consultations were enough because one lawyer gave a little bit of information and the other lawyer gave another little tidbit of information.  Together Patrick feels he has his answer and he can avoid spending any money.

As soon as Constance graduates from high school, Patrick stops making his child support payments.


- THE CALL FROM THE MOTHER -

Patrick gets a call from his ex-girlfriend, Judy, who is Constance's mother.  She asks Patrick if he is short on money and needs more time to pay his child support.  Patrick tells her that since Constance is 18 now and has graduated from high school that his child support payments have ended.  

Judy said she knew it was coming sometime but that she thought she would get some kind of notice.  Patrick says that he spoke with a lawyer and he doesn't have to make any more payments.

Judy calls a lawyer about Rhode Island child support and explains what has happened.  The lawyer advises that Patrick is wrong.


- RI FAMILY COURT -

Judy hires the lawyer to file papers against Patrick for Contempt, the Rhode Island Child Support, Interest, Costs for taking time out of work and her attorney's fees.

Patrick is served with the papers and is shocked.  However, he continues to be adamant that since the two lawyers confirmed the two conditions had to be met, that he doesn't have anything to worry about.

 

- A HARD LESSON FROM THE JUDGE -

When they get to court eight weeks later, Patrick finds out that he made a costly mistake.   Patrick is is given only ten days per the Court's Order to pay (1) the last ten weeks of child support plus interest in a lump sum which is $1,170; (2) Judy's lost time from work which is $127.00; (3) Judy's attorney's fees of $750.00; and (4) that he is to continue paying his weekly child support until his RI Child Support is properly terminated by a Rhode Island Family Court Judge.    

 

- RI CHILD SUPPORT TERMINATION COACHING -

Patrick calls me back and after a detailed one (1) hour coaching session about the procedure for the proper termination of his child support, Patrick is ready to prepare the documents he needs to file to have his child support terminated.  The one hour of legal coaching was just what Patrick needed to get the answers he needed.  Sadly he realized only too late that the $135.00 for some solid coaching on his Rhode Island Child Support issue was exactly what he needed to avoid all this cost and aggravation.

 

- RI FAMILY LAW COACHING -

Rhode Island Divorce and Family Law Coaching is the wave of the future and it's here to stay.  People need affordable experienced help when free help isn't available and Coaching provides the answer.

Do you need a little bit of help like Patrick?  Do you need some direction?  

Do you have proper legal information you need to make the important decisions you need to make?  Most people don't!

In my humble opinion, a RI Divorce and Family Law Lawyer providing experienced Coaching is the answer.

Rhode Island Divorce and Family Law Coaching saves you money.  

It saves you time.  

It provides you with understanding and knowledge you wouldn't otherwise get elsewhere.  

It provides you with the experienced legal help you need, when you need it, at a price you can afford.

Don't go into any matter legally blind.  

Many times you can't afford to be without a lawyer because in the end it will cost you much more than a single coaching session because you've overlooked something or weren't told something crucial like Patrick's case.  

Don't be a victim.  It isn't necessary.  

At a cost of only $135 for a one hour family law coaching session with an experienced divorce and family law lawyer, it's something you can't afford to be without.

If Patrick hadn't canceled his appointment, he would have paid $135.  Instead, he paid over $2,000.

A Question for the Rhode Island Divorce Lawyer about a Concealed Divorce Judgment

QUESTION:  

My ex-husband kept the information from me that we have actually been divorced since 2008 from me. During all that time till now he had me thinking we are still married so I have been working on our marriage.  I want to know if i can sue him because of this.
 

ANSWER: 

In order to obtain a Final Judgment of divorce in Rhode Island, your ex-husband had to serve with the divorce papers in a way that was sufficient to give you notice of the divorce proceeding that meets due process standards.  If you knew about the divorce filing, it was up to you to make sure you kept up to date on what might be happening in the divorce case in the Rhode Island Family Court.


 Unfortunately there is not legal theory that allows you to sue your ex-husband under these circumstances.  If your husband wanted the divorce then you might have prolonged the proceeding but you would not have stopped it, so essentially you would have no damages to sue to recover.


If you weren't aware of the divorce itself and you have good reason why you would want to be married to this man as of today, you might want to find out how you were considered lawfully served by the Rhode Island Family Court and obtain an experienced divorce lawyer's opinion as to whether it was lawfully correct service of process.  It is possible, though rare, that you could successfully challenge the Rhode Island Divorce Judgment itself based upon lack of due process.

Rhode Island Divorce Coaching by RI Attorney Christopher Pearsall

Divorce Coaching has taken on several different meanings in the past few years.  There is a wide diversity between what one person means by a Divorce Coach as compared to what another person means.  Substantially, I have found that divorce coaches may (1) be a coach to help a person in a divorce move forward in their life after the divorce proceeding is over by helping the person being coached to focus on the promise that the future holds, or in another instance a person may (2) may be a coach for spouses going through a divorce so they can amicably resolve their emotional issues and realize that while their relationship doesn't work as husband and wife and divorce is going to occur, they can each move forward without hatred, looking at the promise of the future and the positive influence they can have on each other and/or their children.

 *  Meet a New Concept - Rhode Island's Legal Divorce Coach  *


The fact is, not everyone can afford a divorce lawyer, even with the affordability that I attempt to provide in my law practice.  Yet everyone should have access to some sort of professional legal assistance.  At the same time, professional legal services that take years of schooling and diligent effort are not without significant value and worthy of compensation.

However, these two issues do find a way to blend with one another with compromise between client and lawyer.  This is where you find the client seeking a lawyer for divorce coaching.  By engaging a Rhode Island divorce attorney who is willing to coach you through a divorce or family law situation, you are provided with valuable information that attorney has learned through practice and now passes on to you to help you handle your own divorce matter or to help you deal with the more crucial parts of the process such as the initial divorce filing, how the hearing should proceed, the timing of the interlocutory order that should enter following your divorce hearing, and the procedure for entry of the final judgment of divorce. 

With such coaching you spend time with the attorney who provides you with his or her knowledge and experience to try to guide you through the process without requiring the attorney to represent you in the process.  By removing the attorney from the representation portion of the divorce, you make the attorney available to coach others, you limit the divorce attorney's liability and you undertake your own representation with the help of a professional to guide you through it.  This, of course, results in a substantially reduced price since your legal divorce coach can assist you by telephone, in person or by email but does not have to dress for and travel to court, pay for parking, wait for your case to be called, and spend other valuable time that could be used helping other clients but which you might end up paying for if the attorney is left unavailable for other work.

The legal divorce coach is a new innovation I have yet to discover on the internet or through other colleagues and Rhode Island practitioners over the last decade.  However, it has recently become a growing part of my practice as more and more people seek legal guidance but not necessarily legal representation in the area of Rhode Island Divorce and Family Law.

Are you seeking legal guidance?  Do you desire to know your legal rights as a situation develops?  Do you need someone to help you along the way but not necessarily represent you?  Perhaps you are the perfect candidate for my Rhode Island Divorce and Family Law Coaching Program.

Feel free to call me to discuss it.  Clients will be taken on a first-come first coached basis and each person will be individually evaluated based upon his or her needs and the cost that would be associated with it.  No rates will be available over the telephone since rates will vary with each individual's needs as determined by the attorney after consultation.   A low-cost consultation of $50 is required for this new service offering.

I look forward to helping those in need of Rhode Island Divorce and Family law services in this new service offering.
