Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the first step in getting a divorce?
The first step is filing a Petition for Dissolution with Benton County Superior Court. We’ll help you complete the paperwork and understand what comes next.
How does the court decide who gets custody?
Courts look at what’s best for the child. This includes each parent’s involvement, the home situation, and the child’s needs. We help build a parenting plan that works.
Can I change my support or custody order?
Yes. If your life changes, like a new job or move, you can ask the court to modify the current order. We handle those requests regularly.
We agree on everything. Do I still need a lawyer?
Yes. Even if both parties agree, a lawyer can make sure your paperwork is complete, enforceable, and protects you in the future.
How long does a divorce usually take?
Washington has a 90-day waiting period, but most divorces take longer, depending on how quickly you reach agreements on key issues.
Can you help Spanish-speaking clients?
Yes. Our team includes bilingual staff, and we are happy to help Spanish-speaking clients through the legal process.
