RI Divorce - New DR-6 form has been released

- 23.18


Those who wish to apply for divorce in Rhode Island must fill out a financial document called "Specification of assets and liabilities" also called DR - 6 form.

Quite a while ago I wrote this form to write and help people understand it. Because the form intended, the one actually used, and the mystery surrounding the shape of the confusing Rhode Island DR - 6.

In October 2011, the Statement of Assets and Liabilities (DR - 6) Statement of Rhode Island province was fully developed and a new DR - 6 format was required. In the former DR - 6 form, I examined the front and back of one page. The new and improved DR-6 form is currently 9 pages long and is created in the form of an Excel spreadsheet downloadable from the Rhodes Family Court website.

The new DR-6 is substantially more intensive and requires more specific information about virtually all forms of assets, liabilities, income, costs and investment.

Whether the new statements on Rhode Island's assets and liabilities are actually improving is a matter of debt. At the very least, however, this format requires a substantial amount of disclosure from all court of appeals and an amount for the court to apply for DR-6, resulting in disclosure to the same amount on the defense side.

As with the predecessor form, there is no concrete direction for the completion of the new DR - 6 form of the Rhode Island Family Court. Although it may suggest that the detailed nature of the form no longer gets confused. Even if you try to fill yourself by yourself, you may change your mind.

The confusion lies in the fact that it is entirely possible that items of income will also easily fit into sub-categories of assets. The same concept also applies to liability items that conform to the categories or subcategories of liabilities. Common sense, it seems that it shows that if you include the same item in both the debt section and the debt section, it becomes dual input and the form creator does not need to create a form to duplicate the information.

The conclusion we can draw from this is that the creators of the form were meant only to include items that might fall under both areas in one area.

So what is the confusion? What area do I need to include? Should the item be included in the first section deemed appropriate or should it be excluded from the second section to which it applies? Or do it in the reverse order, probably apply and wait until you come to see if you put it there?

I think that this question has an appropriate direction. I tried using common sense and analytical thinking to determine the best categories and sections to choose when dealing with various debt items. I found that even though I wanted to identify the best category or section to put items in, I found that as many items were applied in the same way to the two categories and sections on the DR-6 form. I found it in the process of analyzing a form containing actual information that there were three semi-common items in many conflict financial structures equally fitting the three sections of the DR-6 form.

So I asked one of the committee members who created the form on this issue. I was told to put it on one of the places. So I requested further consideration as to whether an instruction on the new DR - 6 asset and debt documents in Rhode Island province would be prepared. Unfortunately, no form is expected to support lawyers or the general public.

Unfortunately, this article may pose more questions than actually answer. But, if any, it will confirm to you that you are not the only person you are concerned about with this form and the confusion it creates for lawyers and the public.

If you look closely at the form, I may appreciate being able to organize it for you. If the purpose of the form is to provide a reliable party and Rhode Island Family Court calculations, you can not put the item in one category or section of the form and leave it alone. The actual form, when used in the original Excel format, is numerically calculated.

The calculations performed on the DR - 6 spreadsheet are incorrect if the category or section intended by the form author on this new DR - 6 form does not contain any items. One number may be overly bulging and the other may be underestimated.

Only two or three items placed in an "unintended" category or section will substantially discard the calculation results in the spreadsheet. Depending on how the parties and / or family judges are interpreting how they relate to the DR-6 calculation, this confusion caused by the new DR-6 format may interfere with the settlement between the parties, They are actually different.

Rhode Island's new and improved DR-6 asset and liability statement is more detailed and more intensive than ever and has the potential to solve the family law sentencing, but without this new form of instruction suddenly The confusion of the remaining remains.
