Supreme Court of Rhode Island
Michele B. Codere-Wilson v. Craig S. Wilson
July 8, 2026
Summary
The Supreme Court affirmed the Family Court’s order requiring Craig to provide Michele one-half of the marital portion of his pension. It held that the Property Settlement Agreement unambiguously covered both the pension and annuity components of Craig’s retirement plan, and that Michele’s claim accrued when Craig began receiving pension payments without paying her share. The Court further held that requiring a second Qualified Domestic Relations Order enforced, rather than reformed, the existing agreement.
