Protecting What You Value Most

Uncontested Divorce

When both spouses are in complete agreement as to the terms of the divorce, it's known as an uncontested divorce.

This type of divorce is much less difficult, time-consuming, and costly than a contested divorce. That said, unexpected issues often arise during uncontested divorce proceedings, which makes it advisable for both spouses to retain divorce lawyers to protect their interests.

High-Conflict Divorce

High-conflict divorces are characterized by a lack of agreement on many (if not all) of the terms of a divorce decree, including child support and the division of marital assets. Successfully making it through a high-conflict divorce requires the assistance of an experienced attorney with a proven track record as a negotiator.

Spousal Support

Depending on the circumstances of your marriage, either you or your spouse may be ordered to pay spousal support. The court will consider various factors when making its decision, including both spouses' income levels, the standard of living during the marriage, and the age of each spouse.

Property Division

Division of property is one of the most contentious aspects of the divorce process. Because Washington is a community property state, assets acquired during the marriage are divided equitably during a divorce, with pre-marriage assets remaining with their owners in most cases.

Military Divorce

Military divorces are frequently more complicated than non-military divorces, as they often involve federal and state laws. Couples going through a military divorce are advised to seek the counsel of a divorce lawyer to understand the ramifications of their decisions, even if the divorce is uncontested.

Same-Sex Legal Matters

Same-sex divorce, child custody, and parenting plans can be just as complex as those for heterosexual couples, if not more so. We work with LGBTQIA+ clients to settle family law disputes that may be more nuanced due to the identity of one or the other spouse.
