Our Family and Divorce Law Firm’s Primary Practice Areas

At Twyford Law Office, our attorneys handle all matters related to your divorce case. Primary practice areas include:

Divorce

Dissolution of marriage (i.e., divorce) is the legal process of ending a marriage. The divorce action addresses all matters related to terminating a marriage, including child custody, domestic support, and property division. Our Pike Place Market divorce attorneys provide personalized service to help you achieve the outcome you desire.

Child Custody

When parents go through divorce, the children are the top priority. Our child custody lawyers work with you to negotiate a child custody agreement that works best for the family. However, we are prepared to aggressively argue the matter in court if it becomes necessary to protect you and your children.

Child Support

Parents are responsible for the financial support of their children, even if the parents decide to divorce. Child support ensures that both parents continue to support their children and provide for their needs. Our child support lawyers analyze income and other factors to ensure fair support payments.

Judgment Modification

The court only modifies divorce orders if you can prove a substantial change in circumstances you could not reasonably predict when the court issued the current order. Our judgment modification lawyers help you petition the court for changes in child custody, alimony, and child support.

Property Division

Most property acquired during the marriage is subject to property division, but some exceptions exist. Our property division lawyers help you negotiate a fair property settlement agreement that gives you the resources you need as you move forward with your life after divorce.

How Do I Seek a Divorce in Seattle, WA?

Either spouse can file for divorce in Washington, provided at least one of them is a state resident or is stationed in the state in the armed services. Washington does not impose a minimum residency requirement to file divorce papers.

You can obtain a divorce on the sole grounds of irreconcilable differences. Even if your spouse wants to remain married, the court will grant the divorce if you swear the marriage cannot be saved.

There is a 91-day waiting period from the filing date before the court will issue a divorce decree. However, divorces can take much longer if the spouses disagree on any of the terms of the divorce settlement. Our Pike Place Market divorce attorneys work with you to obtain a settlement agreement that resolves the divorce issues quickly whenever possible.

How Will My Property Be Divided in a Divorce in Seattle, WA?

Washington is a community property state for divorces. With very few exceptions, the spouses have a 50% share of all property acquired during the marriage. Marital assets are subject to property division during the divorce unless there is a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement.

Factors judges use when dividing marital assets in a Washington divorce include:

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

At Twyford Law Office, our divorce lawyers in Pike Place Market diligently work to obtain a property division settlement that is fair and equitable. 

Who Will Get Custody of Our Children After the Divorce?

Unless a parent is unfit, children are presumed to benefit from maintaining close relationships with both parents. 

Judges consider many factors to determine a child’s best interest for custody, including, but not limited to:

  • The safety and stability of the home
  • The child’s physical, developmental, and emotional needs
  • A parent’s history of caring for their child
  • The wishes of the parents and the children
  • The potential for future performance of parental duties
  • A child’s involvement in their school, community, and extracurricular activities
  • A child’s relationship with other people in the home, including grandparents, siblings, and extended family

We do not hesitate to take matters into court when necessary to protect your parental rights and your child’s well-being.
