Your Seattle and Washington State Uncontested Divorce Headquarters.

You decide how you are going to divide your debts and assets. You decide who is going to keep what furniture and other property. You decide who is going to stay in the house and who is going to leave.

If children are involved, you decide how you are going to divide your parenting responsibilities, and you decide how you are going to share residential visitation throughout the calendar year. You decide what is best for your children, and whether you and your spouse should be ordered to pay for their college education.

A Washington state uncontested divorce is by far the simplest, smartest and least expensive way to end your marriage. It's also the most intelligent. Pursuing a Washington state uncontested divorce will typically also save you thousands and thousands of dollars while allowing you avoid the emotional and psychological turmoil of traditional litigation.

Think about it for a minute. If you and your spouse are still able to effectively communicate, work together and negotiate an uncontested divorce, why would you even consider any other option?

Is an uncontested divorce in Washington State valid and fully enforceable?  Yes!

The final orders that we prepare for our uncontested divorce clients, including the final Decree of Dissolution, are exactly the same in every critical respect as those obtained from a contested divorce.

Is a Washington State Uncontested Divorce complicated?

The answer to this question is really both yes and no.  Any divorce action requires that specific statutory and procedural requirements be met.  In Washington State, all divorces must meet the statutory requirements found of the Revised Code of Washington (the "R.C.W.").

The primary section of the R.C.W. that deals with divorce law, whether contested or uncontested, is Chapter 26.  In order for your final Decree of Dissolution to be valid, it must contain specific language and meet the procedural requirements of R.C.W. Chapter 26.

If there are children, real property, or significant assets and debts involved, it is critical that the final orders be properly prepared and reviewed by an experienced Washington divorce lawyer.  It is much easier to ensure that the final orders are properly prepared initially than it is to try to have a judge modify them once they are entered.

Ambiguous language in uncontested divorce decrees that are not properly drafted can become a big problem down the road.  They can create uncertainty and confusion.  Making sure that the final orders are properly drafted from the beginning also protects you from improper actions by your spouse both before and after you are divorced.

Our Seattle and Washington State uncontested divorce lawyers have handled hundreds of uncontested divorces throughout Washington State. Put our knowledge, experience, and resources to work for you.

Do I qualify for a Washington State Uncontested divorce?

With very few exceptions, we can divorce almost anyone in Washington State who either lives here or who has a spouse that lives here through an uncontested divorce.  This is true regardless of whether you or your spouse live in Seattle, Everett, Tacoma, Vancouver, Spokane or Yakima. Only one of you needs to live here in Washington.  Additionally, if you or your spouse are in the military and are stationed here in Washington state, you probably also qualify to file for a WA State uncontested divorce.

As a practical matter, over 99% of all people currently residing in Washington State qualify to pursue an uncontested divorce.  There are no specific time requirements for residing in Washington prior to pursuing an uncontested divorce unless you have children. 

If you have children, it is best if they have lived here for at least six months prior to pursuing a divorce.  Otherwise, there could be an issue as to whether Washington has jurisdiction over them.  If you fall into this category, please give us a call to discuss your case in more detail.

The only other significant requirement to pursuing and uncontested divorce is that you and your spouse agree on all of the terms of your divorce.  Obtaining an uncontested divorce is something that every divorcing couple should strongly consider.  In many instances, the only people who benefit from traditional divorce litigation are the attorneys.

Can I pursue and uncontested divorce in WA State if my spouse and I have been married for many years and we have significant assets?

Absolutely.  Many of our clients come to us with initial assumption that because they have been married for a number of years or because they have significant assets, they must pursue a contested divorce.  Nothing, however, could be further from the truth.  The length of your marriage or the assets that you and your spouse have accumulated are irrelevant.  Again, the only requirement is that you and your spouse must agree on all of the critical terms of your divorce.

Experience Matters.

When considering who to hire to assist you with your WA State uncontested divorce, it is important to consider whether they have resources and the experience to properly ensure that the final orders in your case are tailored to meet your specific needs. 

Our lawyers have this experience.  We are also able to fully advise you of the legal consequences and the future ramifications of your final orders.  This is part of your flat fee.

Will I Need To Appear In Court?

One of our most frequently asked questions is whether or not a Washington uncontested divorce will require any court appearances. This depends on which option you choose.  For example, if you prefer to have your uncontested divorce filed at the King County Courthouse in Seattle or Kent, then you will need to make at least one court appearance with one of our attorneys.

Most of our clients, however, choose to file their uncontested divorce in Lincoln County, Washington because it has the same legal effect as any other WA State divorce decree.  If your uncontested divorce is filed in Lincoln County, then there are NO MANDATORY COURT APPEARANCES NECESSARY.
