R.I. Fam. Ct. R. Prac. 2.3
Automatic Continuance Where Session Cancelled
If for any reason
sessions of the Family Court in any County are cancelled, unless otherwise ordered
by the court or the parties otherwise stipulate with the court's approval, all matters
shall automatically be continued for four (4) weeks and all outstanding orders which
would by their own terms have expired on the day such session was cancelled shall
automatically be continued in full force and effect for the same period. The clerk
shall note in the docket of each case the fact of the cancellation of such session.
If the court decides to reschedule such matters in a manner different from the
procedure established in the previous paragraph, the court will promulgate an
administrative order to that effect and post the order on the Rhode Island Judiciary's
website at www.courts.ri.gov.
