Supreme Court of Rhode Island

Concetta v. Tarro v. Robert D. Tarro.

December 20, 19841984 R.I. LEXIS 643

Summary

The court affirmed the Family Court’s judgment awarding the husband a divorce based on irreconcilable differences, distributing the marital assets, awarding rehabilitative alimony and child support, permitting a setoff against support arrearages, and requiring the husband to pay counsel and witness fees. It held that the trial justice properly considered the parties’ conduct and all statutory factors, gave appropriate weight to the husband’s refusal to answer questions about an alleged affair, and did not abuse his discretion. The court also concluded that the findings supported the award of counsel fees. No separate opinions were filed.
