Legal Representation for All Types of Divorce
Making the decision to divorce is often difficult. When there is a lot
of conflict, the process can be even more emotional and difficult. Our
Vancouver WA divorce lawyers have more than two decades of experience
representing clients in everything from simple, uncontested divorces with
no children to highly complex cases involving
custody disputes, high net worth situations,
business ownership, and many assets.
Certain situations, such as when one partner is a member of the military, one spouse has significant separate assets, or a couple owns a successful business together, require an attorney with the right knowledge and experience. Our two decades of experience has provided us with extensive knowledge of the law and how to handle unique and complicated situations such as a military divorce in Washington state.
The Divorce Process in Washington State
The divorce process begins with completing the necessary forms, filing them with the court, and serving your spouse with the papers. This is followed by a 90-day waiting period before the divorce is finalized by the court. The process is easier and faster when both parties agree to the major issues, and it is more complex when there are disputes. Our divorce lawyers in Vancouver are skilled and zealous advocates for your best interests, regardless of the complexity of your case.
Contested vs Uncontested Divorce in Washington State
For those interested in filing for an uncontested divorce, they must first agree to every term of the divorce. These terms include issues such as custody, visitation, spousal support, etc. Keep in mind, they do not have to agree to the terms immediately, remedies such as divorce mediation can help resolve a lot of the disagreements.
If both parties cannot come to a mutual agreement, then a contested divorce may be filed. Contested cases must be presented in trial before a judge so that things such as property division may be awarded.
