Legal Question in Family Law in Rhode Island

I went to court today for my divorce (neither of us are/were represented by a lawyer) and was advised that we needed to complete and file a particular form to complete the divorce proceedings. I was not preparded to take notes and was nervous and did not write down the name of the form. The judge suggested that we hire a lawyer to complete this form.

My question is:

What is the name of this form that we need to file and also what is the average cost for a lawyer to complete the form?

Thank you

Could it be the DR-6A Statement of Assets/Financial Affairs? If so, you may find the form here: http://www.courts.ri.gov/family/family-forms.htm

For your information, LawyersCollaborative offers a Limited Engagement where one of our Staff General Counsel will spend up to an hour and a half meeting with you (to review documents, explain procedures, and otherwise help you most effectively represent yourself, pro se), for a fixed fee of $250, which is less than Staff General Counsel's standard $300 hourly rate.

Best wishes,
