Washington Child Custody

In all divorce proceedings involving a minor child, each party shall file a proposed permanent parenting plan with the court. The court will approve an agreement reached by the parties pertaining to their children, so long as the agreement appears to be in the children's best interest.

Child Support

Washington has adopted child support guidelines which apply in virtually every case, unless special circumstances are present. The child support calculation takes into consideration the gross income of both parties, and certain child related expenses. Child support will continue until the child reaches the age of majority, and may be extended through his or her secondary education.

Venue

An action for divorce may be filed in the Superior Court of the county where the petitioner resides.

Mediation

In a divorce proceeding a contested issue may be set for mediation before or concurrent with the time set for the final hearing. Either party may file a motion requesting mediation of their disputed issues, if a divorce is pending. Prior to the initiation of divorce proceedings, the parties may choose to submit any or all of their issues to mediation so that they may proceed in court on an uncontested basis.
