Understanding Washington's family law statutes helps you protect your rights and plan your case. Here's what you need to know.
Washington is a pure no-fault divorce state. The only ground for divorce is that the marriage is irretrievably broken. The court cannot consider fault in dividing property or awarding maintenance.
Washington is a community property state. All property acquired during the marriage is presumed community property and is subject to "just and equitable" division — which is not necessarily 50/50. Separate property (owned before marriage or received as gift/inheritance) may also be divided in some circumstances.
Unlike some community property states, Washington courts have discretion to divide community property in a way that is "just and equitable" rather than strictly 50/50. Courts may also divide separate property if justice requires it.
Best interests of the child
No
Washington uses "parenting plans" instead of custody orders. A parenting plan specifies decision-making authority and the residential schedule. The court considers the best interests of the child and encourages both parents' involvement when safe.
Washington uses the income shares model based on both parents' combined net incomes and the number of children. The Washington State Child Support Schedule provides detailed guidelines.
Support continues to 18, or through high school completion if the child is still enrolled and under 19. Post-secondary support is not automatically ordered but may be agreed upon.
Washington uses the term "spousal maintenance" rather than alimony. There is no formula — courts have broad discretion based on the circumstances. Long marriages (25+ years) are more likely to result in long-term maintenance.
