What the Program Covers
Most divorces get complicated not because the people involved can't work things out, but because the process feels overwhelming. This workshop gives you the roadmap to handle your own divorce in Washington, start to finish.
Dividing Your Assets
1
Property division can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. We'll walk through how to build a complete property inventory, how Washington classifies community vs. separate property, and what "fair and equitable" actually means in practice.
Spousal Support
2
Spousal support (also called maintenance) is one of the most misunderstood parts of divorce. We'll cover when it applies, how courts think about amount and duration, and how you and your spouse can reach an agreement that works for both of your futures.
Parenting Plans & Co-Parenting
3
A parenting plan is more than a custody schedule, it's the foundation for redefining your parenting relationship. We'll cover what a solid plan includes, how to think through residential schedules and decision-making, and practical co-parenting skills to help you communicate and stay out of conflict.
Child Support
4
Child support in Washington follows a specific formula, but the inputs matter and it can be modified by agreement with some limits. We'll break down how income is calculated, what can justify a deviation from the standard calculation, and what else needs to be in a complete child support order.
Once you've reached agreement, the hard part is over but you still need to complete the legal process. We'll walk through the steps to finalize your divorce in Washington state: what to file, what to expect, and how to get from agreement to signed decree without unnecessary delays or surprises.
