Washington Divorce Court Forms

To file for divorce in Washington requires the completion of several important court forms. The process of submitting a case whether you are seeking a divorce, legal separation, or invalidation of marriage, begins with filling out and submitting the appropriate petition form. Unless you are filing a joint divorce petition, one spouse must serve the other with the legal divorce forms and summons notice. Before a court can grant a final divorce order, both spouses will need to accept the service and complete the required paperwork with their information. Working with a divorce lawyer can help ensure a smooth process of filling out court forms and ease confusion during a time of stress.

An uncontested divorce in Washington state on average takes three months to complete, while contested divorces can take much longer depending on the complexity of the case. If you have a divorce case pending, filing forms for a temporary family law order is an available option as well as filing an immediate restraining order.
