Family Law

Divorce
Contact us for more information about divorce law in Bristol, RI, and for a free initial phone consultation to learn how we can assist you during this challenging time.
Child Support
Child Support: The entitlement of all children to be supported by their parents until they reach the age of majority or become emancipated — usually by marriage, entry into the armed forces, or living independently. Many states also impose child support obligations on parents for a year or two beyond this point if the child is a full-time student. If the parents are living separately, they each must still support the children. Typically, the parent who has custody meets their support obligation through taking care of the child every day, while the other parent must make payments to the custodial parent on behalf of the child — usually cash but sometimes other kinds of contributions. When parents divorce, the court almost always orders the noncustodial parent to pay the custodial parent an amount of child support fixed by state law. Sometimes, however, if the parents share physical custody more or less equally, the court will order the higher-income parent to make payments to the lower-income parent.
Child Custody and Visitation
Adoption
Premarital Agreement
Rego Law also provides premarital advice regarding asset allocation, including the drafting and implementation of premarital agreements.
Guardianship
Guardianship: A legal relationship created by a court between a guardian and his ward – either a minor child or an incapacitated adult. The guardian has a legal right and duty to care for the ward. This may involve making personal decisions on their behalf, managing property, or both. Guardianships of incapacitated adults are more typically called conservatorships.
Spousal Support
Alimony: The money paid by one ex-spouse to the other for support under the terms of a court order or settlement agreement following a divorce. Except in marriages of long duration (10 years or more) or in the case of an ailing spouse, alimony usually lasts for a set period, with the expectation the recipient spouse will become self-supporting. Alimony is also called spousal support or “maintenance.”

Criminal Law

DUI/DWI
At Rego Law, we are well-versed in DUI law in Bristol, RI. Driving while under the influence of alcohol is illegal in every state in the United States. Drunk driving is generally defined as driving with a blood alcohol content of above.08 percent; however, this number is usually limited to.04 percent for the driver of a commercial vehicle. In addition, zero-tolerance laws in many states do not allow teenage drivers to have even a trace of detectable alcohol in their systems. A DUI charge can lead to the loss of a driver’s license, jail time, fines, community service, or a host of other consequences. Understanding the laws and penalties associated with drunk driving can help you avoid a violation or proceed accordingly if a violation has already been issued.
Wrongful Death
Motor vehicle PI claims are claims made by people to recover damages for injuries and loss of property caused by the actions of another driver or owner of the “at-fault” vehicle. Wrongful death claims are claims brought by representatives of the estate of a person who was killed due to the acts of another.

Business and Corporate Law

Corporate Law
Business Disputes
Limited Liability Companies
Protection of Personal Assets: Safeguarding personal assets against the claims of creditors and lawsuits. Sole proprietors and general partners in a partnership are personally and jointly responsible for all the liabilities of a business, such as loans, accounts payable, and legal judgments. However, in a corporation, stockholders, directors, and officers are typically not liable for their company’s debts and obligations. They are limited in liability to the amount they have invested in the corporation (e.g., If $100 in stock was purchased, no more than $100 can be lost). Corporations and Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) may hold personal assets like houses, cars, or boats. If one is personally involved in a lawsuit or bankruptcy, these assets may be protected. A creditor of the owner of a corporation or LLC cannot seize the assets of the company; however, they can seize their ownership shares in the corporation, as that is considered a personal asset.

Health Law

Personal Injury
Rego Law has extensive experience in Personal Injury (PI) in Bristol, RI. Commonly called “negligence” claims, PI involves claims of physical and/or emotional harm to a person. These claims typically involve motor vehicles such as cars, trucks, motorcycles, etc., but can also be caused by other objects or by another person. These claims usually involve “negligence” or unreasonable conduct on the part of the person or business causing the harm. However, there are some situations under the law where a person or business may be held “strictly liable” for their actions regardless of negligence. Contact us for a free initial phone consultation to have one of our attorneys discuss your personal injury case with you.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
Estate planning is the process of accumulating and disposing of an estate to maximize the goals of the estate owner. The various goals of estate planning include ensuring the greatest amount of the estate passes to the estate owner’s intended beneficiaries, often including paying the least amount of taxes and avoiding or minimizing probate court involvement. Additional goals typically include providing for and designating guardians for minor children and planning for incapacity. Rego Law handles estate planning in Bristol, RI. Contact us for a free initial phone consultation to discuss your will, trust, or other need.
Wills
Trusts
Living Trust: A trust you can set up during your lifetime. Living trusts are an excellent way to avoid the cost and hassle of probate because the property you transfer into the trust during your life passes directly to the trust beneficiaries after you die, without court involvement. The successor trustee – the person you appoint to handle the trust after your death – simply transfers ownership to the beneficiaries you named in the trust. Living trusts are also called inter vivos trusts.
Power of Attorney
Attorney-in-Fact: A person named in a written power of attorney document to act on behalf of the person who signs the document, called the principal. The attorney-in-fact’s power and responsibilities depend on the specific powers granted in the power of attorney document. An attorney-in-fact is an agent of the principal.
Probate
Probate is a legal procedure overseen by the probate court system that determines the validity of a will. It identifies a decedent and assets so the estate can be administered, inheritances distributed to beneficiaries, creditors and taxes paid, and so forth.

Finance Law

Bankruptcy
The purpose of the Federal Bankruptcy Act is to provide a debtor with a fresh start.

Contact us to learn more about bankruptcy law in Bristol, RI, and for a free initial phone consultation to discuss your financial situation
Foreclosure
Appraisal: A determination of the value of something, such as a house, jewelry, or stock by a professional appraiser who makes an estimate by examining the property and looking at the initial purchase price and comparing it with recent sales of similar properties. Banks and real estate companies use appraisals to ascertain the worth of real estate for lending purposes. Courts commonly order appraisals in probate, condemnation, bankruptcy, or foreclosure proceedings to determine the fair market value of a property.
