Residency Requirements
To file for divorce in Rhode Island, at least one of the spouses must have been a resident of the state for a year or more before filing the Complaint for Divorce.
The divorce documents should be filed in the county where the defendant (non-filing spouse) currently resides, or, if the defendant is not a resident of Rhode Island, in the plaintiff's place of residence.
Members of the United States Armed Forces may be considered as Rhode Island residents if they have been stationed within the state for the relevant time.

Our smooth breakup allowed us to file for uncontested divorce and we just decided to arrange it as simply as possible. Online divorce seemed to be a good idea, and now I'm sure we did it right. All the papers were prepared with no issues and I'm pleased with the price. Thanks.

I think that all the papers related to a certain county with its own legal nuances would be prepared correctly only by a Rhode Island-based company. So that's why I used rhodeislandonlinedivorce and I was really satisfied. My divorce papers were completed in a timely manner and I had no troubles with filing. That was a really smooth process and you can be confident with your filing.

Thinking about all that paperwork thing I was preparing for the worst. Fortunately, we agreed on an online divorce! The site was easy to use and we got our completed divorce papers really quickly. We didn't have any problems with the court as well.

It always seemed to me that divorce must be a much more complicated process. I couldn't imagine how I would cope with that. Where do I get all those papers, how to fill them out and where to go and what to do? So, I was really glad I found rhodeislandonlinedivorce.com and they took care of all the paperwork and gave me clear instructions on how to file with the court. That made the whole process so much easier!
