Frequently Asked Questions

How is property divided in a divorce?

Washington is a community property state, which means that assets and debts acquired during the marriage are generally considered joint property and subject to equitable distribution. However, the court also evaluates factors such as:

  • The nature of the property (community vs. separate).
  • The length of the marriage.
  • The financial circumstances of each spouse.
  • Contributions to the marital estate, including non-financial contributions like homemaking.

At Northwest Family Law, we help you navigate this process to ensure your rights and interests are protected.

What are the benefits of mediation over litigation?

Mediation offers a more collaborative and cost-effective approach to resolving disputes compared to traditional court proceedings. Key benefits include:

  • Control: You and your spouse have more say in the outcome.
  • Cost Savings: Mediation is typically less expensive than going to court.
  • Confidentiality: Mediation discussions are private, unlike court records which are public.
  • Reduced Conflict: A neutral mediator helps facilitate productive conversations, minimizing hostility.

How much alimony could I pay?

Spousal support (or alimony) is not guaranteed in every divorce and is determined based on several factors, including:

  • The financial resources of the requesting spouse.
  • The standard of living established during the marriage.
  • The length of the marriage.
  • The age, physical condition, and earning potential of both parties.

At Northwest Family Law, we tailor our approach to your unique situation, advocating for a fair outcome whether you’re seeking or contesting spousal support.

Client Testimonials

I originally reached out to Northwest Family Law because they had a mostly female team. When I scheduled my consult, their first available was with a male attorney. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t a little nervous to meet with him after having met with other male attorneys in the community. I waited 3 weeks to have our consultation and I was immediately blown away. He showed genuine concern for myself and my son, he was well versed in the information I had left with the receptionist when I scheduled the consult and very much put me at ease with moving forward in pursuing dissolution of marriage.

My team consisted of Mitchell and Cydney primarily with some help from Nikki as well. Mitchell and Cydney are amazing, so thorough, responsive, helpful, informative and kind. I’m so glad they were on my team, they are so very competent and really care about their clients. My husband’s attorney left a lot to be desired and was the complete opposite of this team so I’m very thankful I found Northwest Family Law. Huge thank you to Mitchell, Cydney and Nikki for taking care of me throughout the dissolution process! Me, my son and our dog are all living our best lives thanks to you all 💜
