Getting a divorce? Call us for help.

One of the most common family law issues we deal with is divorce. If you or someone you know is looking for help with a divorce, we have the knowledge and experience needed to walk you through the process. If you're planning to file for divorce, you will not be forced to find a legal fault in the other partner. Washington is strictly a no-fault divorce state, meaning that every divorce is filed under no-fault grounds. However, if you do plan to file for divorce, you will need to provide the following:

• The last known state of residence of each party (and last known county of residence if in Washington)

• The date and place of marriage

• Whether the parties are legally separated (and date of separation if possible)

• The names and ages of any dependent children, and whether a partner is pregnant

• Any domestic or residential agreements made between the two parties during the marriage

• Any statements regarding the community or separate property

• Any relief sought, such as spousal support

All of this information will need to be provided in order to move forward with divorce proceedings, and the same remains true for anyone seeking to dissolve a domestic partnership. While some of these details may be difficult to provide, having an experienced family law attorney working for you can not only expedite the process but also ensure that your case is handled as swiftly and professionally as possible. So if you or someone you know is considering a divorce, call Curiale Hostnik PLLC today. We'll do our best to guide you through the process and provide support along the way.
