Experienced help with paternity cases
Child custody and child support cases are not limited to divorce proceedings.

Hoopis & Hoopis offers effective and knowledgeable legal guidance to fathers and mothers who are involved in paternity cases, child support enforcement cases and other matters.
Our Rhode Island paternity lawyers provide comprehensive support to people with concerns involving paternity. We help individuals with paternity testing, using a non-invasive cheek swab test. When paternity is established, we handle child custody and visitation arrangements.
Child custody and visitation
We understand how important it is to see your children. We help parents negotiate child custody and visitation schedules that are in their best interests and the best interests of their children.
The quality of home life is often a factor in child custody and visitation cases. Home studies and investigations by the court are often a part of these proceedings. We can help you prepare for your home study and be ready to respond to any investigations. Then, we will support your interests in court.
Child support establishment and enforcement
In Rhode Island, child support is determined by the Rhode Island child support guidelines. The guidelines are based on the income of both parents and the amount of financial support the child would have if the parents had remained together. Our Rhode Island child support attorneys help clients understand the guidelines and what they mean to their particular situation.
We also represent mothers and fathers during child support enforcement hearings. If you are not receiving adequate child support from the other parent or you have been accused of nonpayment, contact us.
Child custody and support modifications
Many life events can affect child support and child custody orders. For example, a parent could relocate and request that the child move with him or her. There may be a violent episode that requires a restraining order and change to custody or visitation. Our lawyers can help you bring or fight a motion to modify child support or child custody.
