Uncontested Divorce in Rhode Island
When you and your spouse agree, divorce doesn't need a courtroom battle or a five-figure legal bill. SimpleDivorce prepares your state-specific forms, coordinates signatures, and files your case with the court — court filing is included, and we can serve your spouse when needed. In Rhode Island, most uncontested cases finalize about 5 to 6 months after filing, reflecting the nominal hearing at roughly 75 days followed by the mandatory 90-day nisi period before final judgment.
