Divorce is the term commonly used to describe the end of a marriage.
Dissolution of marriage is the legal term used to describe the end of a marriage as set forth in Revised Code of Washington Chapter 26.09.
In the state of Washington, you can "dissolve" a marriage recognized by any other state in the United States or in any country in the world.
A legal separation is similar to a divorce but the parties remain married.
The result of a legal separation is similar to a divorce, property and debts are divided and assigned, child custody and support is determined, spousal support may be awarded.
The most important and emotional aspect of many family law cases is the creation of a parenting plan for the care and residential schedule of the child or children from the relationship.
Securing a stable home environment and accurate financial support of children whose parents are involved in paternity or divorce disputes requires more than legal skill.
Compassion matters, too.
Our attorneys at Yelish Law are experienced at efficiently resolving child-related issues while highlighting both the children's and the client's best interests.
Child support is the amount of money paid by both parents to support your children in a divorce, legal separation or paternity matter.
Both parents have a duty to provide financial support to their children.
Child support is paid by the nonprimary residential parent (noncustodial parent) to the primary residential parent (custodial parent) or in a shared parenting agreement where both parents have significant amounts of time with the children by the parent with the greater income to the parent with the lesser income.
In Washington, the assets of the parties are characterized as either community property or separate property.
The court in your dissolution of marriage proceeding is required to divide the property and liabilities in a fair and equitable fashion, without consideration of marital misconduct.
This is the concept of no-fault divorce.
Specifically, RCW 26.09.080 provides the court authority based on specific factors to divide the marital property.
Those factors include (1) How much and what kind of community property is to be divided (2) How much and what kind of separate property is to be divided; (3) How long the couple was married; and (4) Each party's economic circumstances at the time the division of property will be effective, including the whether awarding the family home or the right to live there for reasonable periods is desired by the spouse with whom the children reside the majority of the time.
