Debt, Credit Cards and Divorce in Rhode Island by a RI Divorce Lawyer
Rhode Island has no specific statute related directly to assigning Marital Debt in a Rhode Island Divorce. Theoretically, issues concerning Marital Debt are determined under the RI Equitable Division Statute RIGL § 15-5-16.1 Assignment of property. This statute is set forth below.
If the matter goes to a full trial on the merits, which is unlikely, the judge must rely on the equitable division statute 15-5-16.1 to determine assignment of assets as well as debt. Please contact a Rhode Island Divorce Lawyer / Attorney about your RI Divorce case.
