Our Family and Divorce Law Firm’s Primary Practice Areas

A divorce can be emotionally challenging. At Twyford Law Office, our West Central divorce lawyers help you navigate all matters related to your divorce. These legal matters include:

Divorce

A divorce legally dissolves a marriage. A judge must sign a divorce decree that is filed with the court to end the marriage. 

A divorce allows both parties to remarry legally. It also ends their obligations to each other unless ordered by the court or agreed to in a divorce settlement. 

Child Custody

When parents divorce, they must decide who will have primary custody of their children. Child custody can be joint so that both parents have a say in decisions regarding their children. However, if a parent is unfit or unable to care for their children, the court can award sole custody to the other parent. 

Child Support

Even though parents divorce, they are legally obligated to support their children financially. The parent with primary custody typically receives child support from the non-custodial parent. Child support is based on standard child support guidelines. 

Judgment Modification

Alimony, child support, and custody can be modified if there is a substantial change in circumstances. The party asking for a judgment modification has the burden of proving that the change in circumstances justifies changing the court’s order. 

Property Division

When spouses divorce, they may divide assets between them. If a couple cannot decide how to divide their assets, a judge will decide for them.

Financial matters can be very complicated in a divorce proceeding, especially in high-net-worth divorces. 

How Do I Seek A Divorce in Spokane?

Before seeking a divorce in Spokane, you must meet the residency requirements to file for divorce in Washington State. At least one of the spouses must be a resident of Washington or a member of the armed services stationed in Washington. 

At least one spouse must swear under oath that the marriage is irretrievably broken because of irreconcilable differences. 

You cannot obtain a divorce until at least 91 days after you file a petition for dissolution of marriage. However, a divorce can take longer than 90 days, especially if the spouses disagree on the divorce terms. 

Our West Central divorce lawyers handle all types of divorces, including uncontested, high-asset, military, LGBT, same-sex, and contested divorces. 

How Will My Property Be Divided in a Divorce in Washington?

Washington is a community property state for marital assets. You and your spouse have a 50% share of the marital estate. With few exceptions, all income and property accumulated during the marriage become part of the marital estate subject to property division

When deciding how to divide a marital estate, a judge considers the evidence in your case and factors such as:

  • The duration of the marriage
  • The nature and extent of community property
  • Each spouse’s financial situation 
  • The nature and extent of separate property

Our West Central divorce lawyers have experience handling the various issues that arise during property division, including concealed assets, liquidation of assets, high-asset divorces, business valuations, and other complications. 

Who Will Get Custody of Our Children After the Divorce?

Judges in Washington decide child custody cases based on what is in the best interest of the children. The courts encourage parents to work together to determine a custody plan that benefits the entire family. Even though you negotiate a parenting plan and visitation schedule with your spouse, the judge can modify the agreement if they believe it is not in the children’s best interests. 

Judges consider numerous factors in deciding custody, including:

  • The wishes of the parents and the children
  • A parent’s work schedule
  • The past performance of parents in caring for their children
  • A child’s relationship with their siblings and other significant adults in their life
  • The potential for future performance as parents
  • A child’s involvement in school and other activities
  • A child’s needs and emotional development 

Our West Central divorce lawyers are fierce advocates for your child’s well-being. We work to protect your parental rights while seeking a custody order that is in your child’s best interest.
