Whether the divorce law information you seek mandates access to a support calculator, or a Seattle Child-Custody Attorney, the starting point for understanding the Washington Divorce system (and how it actually works in reality as opposed to the very non-specific "black letter" of the law written in the statutes etc.) is somewhere within our site or Discussion Board. If you live distant from Seattle, my online software system provides completely easy processing for all WA state cities for agreed cheap, fast divorce filing.

During the last 12 years as an attorney, I have handled over 500 divorce, custody, paternity, and child support cases. Most questions about Washington Divorce law and procedure (RCW 26.09) are found somewhere within the site. My position on the so called "gender wars" or men's divorce versus women's divorce is very simple: I judge everything from the eyes of the children with the wisdom of an experienced owl with a view from an tree. Men and women use different methods to commit the same crime of Parental Alienation (which can be a syndrome as well) in Washington State, but experience within a particular jurisdiction's court system is necessary to get realistic advices on tactics and chances of freeing up the child. We have also created Washington divorce Court video tutorials for those who must submit evidence on behalf of friends or family members.

All low-fee, agreed, and uncontested divorces benefit from an online software system I created myself. You can pay for and complete an online information intake system right here, entirely through my site, and for a low, flat attorney fee! If you need more information please visit my agreed divorce process page.

Need a child custody law firm or divorce attorney outside of the Seattle, Tacoma, Everett areas? Regardless of where you are located in Washington state, you can find an experienced divorce or child custody attorney-lawyer through this website. One thing you can do for yourself as a parent who may be wrongfully acccused by their spouse of abusing substances is to, prior to your Court hearing, go get a urine analysis (drug test) with Alternative Counseling. Information on all types of dissolution cases (divorces), from flat fee agreed divorce filings to the Judge's decision making in heavily litigated cases, can be found somewhere within the site structure. If you just want your Washington divorce done now, and your spouse will sign the papers, you can get started now by simply making a purchase at the order page. If you have a few questions on basic divorce procedure (like the minimum time requirement rules etc.), you should find easy answers here. If you need to prepare family law declarations for family law Courts (for all WA county courts) or family law hearings (and you've got high-speed internet), I have Washington divorce law tutorials like these. Also, you can simply go to the discussion board and post questions (soon there will a News Section for seattle divorce attorneys who find this site). I process "agreed" Washington divorce cases very quickly and prices for these are listed below. Whether or not you hire an attorney to obtain custody (visitation or "joint-custody") in Seattle or a fair share of the property in a Tacoma divorce, you have come to the right place for an experienced Seattle divorce attorney. I offer all levels of service: from full representation when you need a Seattle divorce attorney for alimony and property settlement, to guidance for do it yourself parties outside Seattle, and all across Washington State. An online Washington Divorce law library, a discussion board, and free Washington state child support calculator; the calculator is set exactly to the State tables and I use it myself in my practice.

For agreed divorces where the spouses are dividing equity in real-estate (the family home), it can add peace of mind knowing the property division will be legal and go smoothly. For people who need to discuss their situation a little more in depth I offer a low, flat fee $185 Diagnosis of your divorce, custody, or property division problems. Can't find your spouse, or think they will just ignore the Court papers or divorce forms even if personally served? In that case the procedure is a Washington state default divorce which we handle for $695.00. Do you need to divide a 401(k), retirement or pension? You are required to have a QDRO (qualified domestic relations order). Because these are complex and every employer has different requirements, I charge an extra $275.00 for this if I am also doing your agreed divorce filing. If not, the QDRO is $395.00. The Court forms in Washington for QDRO's are a pain. Need a Washington Quit Claim deed? They are $100 extra, but most people don't realize that your Decree of Dissolution can be made to do the same thing through proper specification of the legal description.

Annulment, Divorce, & Legal Separation. Can you get an annullment under WA state law? Are Prenuptial agreements and Meretricious relationships valid in Washington? Do you wish to file for paternity and obtain custody or visitation? Even if it is joint-custody or non supervised visitation? If the genetic test comes back showing that you are the father you have a right to custody and/or visitation with the child. If the paternity test shows you are not the father because she is cheating you can get rid of most of your child support obligation but the rules regarding back child-support and paternity are complex: you would be hard-pressed to file the action/lawsuit without a lawyer. Want a real world explanation of how to serve your spouse the divorce papers in Washington? At the bottom of the previous page on "how to serve" we have more information regarding service by mail or publication.

I take custody, parenting plan, paternity and child-support cases from the following areas: Seattle, Bellevue, Tacoma, Everett, Kent, Renton, and most other parts of King, Pierce, or Snohomish county. Uncontested cases can be from as far away as Yakima, Kennewick, Vancouver, Spokane and Lincoln Counties. If you have a dissolution (divorce) settlement agreement decided upon, and you want low fees, my custom Washington divorce online software makes divorce fast, cheap, and easy, regardless of where you are located in Washington. Just answer a few simple questions and we create the petition, findings, and decree for you, and handle all filing matters with no court appearance. For a low fee, we take the hassle out of filing for divorce in Washington.

After over 300-400 contested divorce court hearings (and some of my custody trials have lasted over 6 continuous days), I have developed a detailed and practical knowledge of how the law is actually applied. Don't fear that the law is biased in favor of men or women; but understand it is almost always tilted so far towards the best interests of the child that the Court sometimes does not appear to care about what is fair as between the parents.

We also have a page for Divorce Forms for Washington & Other court documents for free. (But in most cases I don't reccomend these totally unregulated and unnaccoutable online legal websites..) I have also developed web software for divorce and had numerous clients from the Microsoft and other software developers in the Redmond, WA area who need a divorce attorney who knows something about their profession and how it sometimes can play some role in the divorce process.

Over the years I've not only practiced more than just divorce laws, but also have become acquainted with other attorneys who practice in different and interesting other areas of law. The different types of laws (both state and federal law) and the lawyers who practice in them are a continual source of interest for me. Traffic tickets, speeding violations and being stopped for failing to yield etc., is something likely all of us have experienced at one time or another. But some among us may be set on fighting the ticket or stop because of insurance rates, commercial driver's licenses, work that requires frequent or particular types of travel or driving privileges. Please take a look below for subject areas that may interest or benefit either yourself or a friend or family member.

If you have a Domestic Violence Protection Order (DVPO) filed against you, politics can sometimes enter into the situation and you may have a combined divorce and criminal law matter. Have you been charged with DV and are risking unfair supervised visiation with yuor children? Just read carefully here about how I can help you solve your confusing problem with either yourself or a lying/exaggerating spouse. Who has gained an advantage through false allegations of domestic violence contained in a Petition for a protection order; or through deceiving police officers who responded to a 911 call that was orchestrated at just the right time. Click the links which follow to learn more about what I can do for you as your Tacoma or Seattle protection order lawyer (or in the context of their less serious cousin, as your restraining order lawyer) To protect your children and safeguard their vital relatinship with you from an angry, psychologically unstable, or vindictive spouse. Whether the problem is simple exaggerations or outright/bald-face lies, he or she does not need a lawyer to use a protection order or restreaining order to decrease visitation with your children, or even force you to do uncalled for and unnecessary supervised visitation, under Washington state law. But if you are anywhere near 50% at fault (meaning, if you are guilty!), then I don't want you as a client because the children often have no defense or say in the matter until later stages in the proceeding when either social workers or a "GAL" is appointed to investigate. This can be so even when the prosecutor is fully involved with investigation by officers and charging decisions. Given the fact that the child often has absolutely nobody speaking solely on their behalf (except in the fewer cases in the later stages with a GAL, guardian ad litem), this is more than forgiveable.

Cities Served For Agreed Divorces Span All WA city and county regions such as Spokane, Yakima, Everett, Bellingham, Bellevue, Burien, Battleground, Tacoma, Seattle, Bellevue and Bothell. To serve as your child custody attorney, or for contested divorce matters such as changing Washington State Child support orders, parenting plan trial or litigation hearings, contempt for denial of visitation or custody rights, in such cases nomally I take them in the Seattle, Bellevue, and Everett to Tacoma corridor. But I make more than a few exceptions and as of 1/1/2009 have litigation cases in a few cities such as Vancouver, WA and even Spokane pending.
