Filing Tips for Rhode Island
Make copies. File the original and keep at least two copies — one for yourself and one for service on your spouse.
Sign where required. Some forms must be signed in front of a notary. Check each form for notarization requirements.
Use black ink. Courts generally require forms to be completed in black ink or typed. Avoid blue ink or pencil.
Check local rules. Some Rhode Island counties may require additional forms or have specific formatting requirements.
