How is child custody determined?

The best interests of the child are the fundamental guideline. If parents are unmarried and paternity has not been legally established, custody goes to the mother by default. If paternity is established, the father and mother both have opportunities to seek joint or full custody. In the case of a divorce, the husband is legally presumed to be the father of any children born during the marriage unless proven otherwise. Either parent or both may pursue joint or full custody. If a parent is determined unfit, supervised visitation may be an option. For the most sensible solution and the least amount of stress, work closely with an experienced, creative and empathetic family law attorney.

I am getting divorced. Do I need an attorney?

Before you make an expensive mistake or omission, we urge you to consult with an attorney before deciding to try to go it alone. We offer ala carte services if you want to do some of the work yourself.

How long does a divorce take?

There is a minimum 90-day wait between the filing of a divorce and when a judge can act on it. Contested divorces may take much longer.

Is Washington a no-fault divorce state?

Yes. Neither spouse has to prove that the other did anything wrong to get a divorce.

What are the grounds for divorce in Washington?

The only necessary justification for divorce is a claim by either spouse that there has been an “irretrievable breakdown of the marriage.”

Should I file for divorce?

This question shows that you grasp the seriousness of divorce. If you are considering other possibilities, such as a postnuptial agreement, a reconciliation with your spouse or a legal separation, we will not rush you into filing for divorce. A case assessment can help you envision how to pursue your most important objectives.
