As a Rhode Island divorce lawyer, there is a mentality that some divorce litigants in Rhode Island Family Court exhibit. The mentality is, “I would rather burn down the house then have my spouse get it.” This is irrational thinking. It is the same irrational mentality of people who harm their children to get back at their spouse.
An irrational decision
An irrational decision in Providence Family Court is a decision which is not in the best interest of the person making the decision. This decision can severely harm the other party and in the end severely harm the entire family.
Being very aggressive in a divorce is okay! Being irrationally, aggressive is not okay. There is one judge who used to say, “don’t kill the cash cow.” In other words don’t irrationally destroy the person who is supporting the family in order to support an irrational agenda.
The worst examples of this is as follows:
- Harassing your spouse at work.
- Trashing your spouse in front of his boss at work causing him to lose his job (If he loses his income, he cannot support the family and cannot pay RI child support)
- Reporting your spouse to immigration so he gets deported and can no longer see his children.
Angry, bitter and seek revenge
In the event you are angry, bitter and seek revenge, please wait a few days before making any rash stupid decisions. Also consult your Rhode Island divorce lawyer before making a tragic and reckless decision in your divorce. A RI divorce attorney will fight to protect your rights in Providence Family Court.
Unfortunately, you can never get complete justice in Providence Family Court if you have been wronged. The only sense of justice you can get is getting the best result for yourself under the circumstances. Acting irrationally only makes you feel better in the short term but does not solve any problems. In the long term, acting irrationally will only harm you and your family.
