Family Law and Adoption

 


Divorce or dissolution is a sad reality of our legal world.The ending of a marriage is always a profound adjustment, and a time of great anxiety. Unfortunately, for the unwary, it can be a time of real danger as decisions are being made which will determine the future wellbeing of you and, if applicable, your children. You need professional guidance, protection and advocacy at this unsettling time.

Washington is a “no fault” state, which means that either husband and wife may terminate the relationship without proving fault on the part of the other side. It involves a division of property, including land and money, and a determination of child support, maintenance, and custody.
