Supreme Court of Rhode Island

Sharon L. Cunningham v. Kieran G. Cunningham

July 17, 2025

Summary

The Supreme Court affirmed the Family Court’s order sanctioning Kieran Cunningham and awarding Sharon Cunningham $6,125 in attorneys’ fees. The Court held that Kieran’s amended motion seeking inspection and appraisal of the marital property was not grounded in fact or warranted by existing law because it sought relief inconsistent with the parties’ agreement. The Court also held that the amount of fees awarded was not an abuse of discretion.
