The Divorce Process in Washington

If you’re considering getting a divorce, chances are you have a lot on your mind. What will the process look like? How long will it take? And what happens to your home, your children, and your financial future?

Here’s a quick snapshot of how divorce works in Washington:

• Washington is a no-fault state, which means you don’t need to prove wrongdoing. You just need to state that the marriage is “irretrievably broken.”

• There’s a mandatory 90-day waiting period after filing before your divorce can be finalized, even if you and your spouse agree on everything.

• Key issues in every divorce include property division, child custody, child support, and spousal maintenance (alimony).

It’s a lot. But you don’t have to figure it all out alone. View Ridge Law’s group of reputable Kent divorce attorneys can help you understand your rights and responsibilities and create a plan that makes sense for your life and your goals.

Divorce Pathways

Not all divorces look the same. Depending on your situation, your path forward could look like any one of these possibilities:

• Uncontested Divorce: You and your spouse agree on everything. This option tends to be quicker, cheaper, and less stressful.

• Mediation: A neutral third party helps both sides reach a fair agreement. You stay in control instead of leaving decisions up to a judge.

• Litigation: If you and your spouse can’t agree, the court will step in to make the final call. This can be necessary in high-conflict or high-asset cases.

Whatever route your case takes, our attorneys are ready. We strive for a collaborative approach, but we are also more than ready to be a fierce advocate for your best interests.
