We understand that family law matters can be some of life's most stressful events
Types of Divorce Matters that We Handle
Contested Divorce
A contested divorce exists when spouses cannot agree on the terms of a divorce, such as terms relating to the division of property, child custody, and spousal support. Contested divorces typically require a lot of time, litigation, and many rounds of negotiation to resolve.Uncontested Divorce
Uncontested divorces exist when both spouses are in complete agreement as to the terms of the divorce. They are much less expensive than contested divorces and far less time-consuming. That said, unexpected issues often arise during uncontested divorce proceedings, which makes it advisable for both spouses to have attorneys.High-Conflict Divorce
High-conflict divorces are characterized by a strong lack of agreement on many, if not all, of the terms of a divorce, from child support to the division of marital assets. Successfully making it through a high-conflict divorce requires an experienced attorney with a track record as a successful 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 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 often more complicated than non-military divorces and involve federal and state laws. Spouses going through a military divorce are advised to seek counsel to understand the full ramifications of their decisions, even if the divorce is uncontested.

FAQ
Can my attorney represent both me and my spouse?
No. Spouses must retain separate counsel for divorce proceedings. Conflicts of interest exist as well as ethical rules that prevent family law attorneys from representing both spouses during legal separations and divorces. Even if both spouses agree to an amicable divorce, Spokane divorce attorneys must refrain from representing both spouses.
How much is a divorce in Spokane?
Because each divorce situation is different, it is impossible to say how much yours will cost. The average cost paid by couples is around $10,000, but it can be much more or less depending on the issues involved and the agreement between spouses.
What is the average cost for a lawyer in a divorce case?
The cost of a Spokane divorce attorney depends on the experience of the particular divorce lawyer, and often, the complexity of the divorce proceedings. Generally speaking, divorce lawyers charge anywhere between $200 and $500 per hour for their legal services.
How long does a divorce take in Spokane, WA?
A divorce in Spokane will take at least 90 days, which is the minimum waiting period before a marriage can be dissolved. That said, many divorces take longer than 90 days due to disputes over property, children, and other marital concerns.
What’s the difference between divorce and legal separation?
Divorce and legal separation differ in that a divorce officially dissolves the marriage and ends any legal relationship that once existed between the two spouses. With a legal separation, the marriage is still intact, even though a division of assets and debts and other divorce proceedings may occur.
