Child Support & Custody

Child support is a court-ordered mechanism to ensure that a child’s financial needs are supported by both parents after they are no longer together. This applies whether or not the parents were previously married or unmarried. This support is mandated for the benefit of the child. It is determined based on a variety of factors.



Goldman & Goldman has worked on many child support cases in the past. We strive to prioritize the best interest of the child. We'll help you understand child support in Rhode Island and how it is determined. Then, we'll help you to establish, enforce, or modify child support for the ongoing benefit of your child.

Child custody is already emotionally charged when both parents live in the same state. Child custody disputes can become that much more difficult when the parents live further apart in different states.



When there are international borders involved, it is essential to make sure you have legal support for your child custody case. When the child lives outside of the United States, special considerations must be taken. These considerations also apply when one parent is seeking to move outside the United States. International cases have to look at another country's laws and customs while settling the terms.
