Waiting Period and Final Decision
Washington requires a mandatory waiting period of 90 days before the judgment may be issued. After the waiting period, the judge issues the final divorce decision.
Division of Assets and Debts in Washington
Washington is a community property state.
There is a presumption that assets acquired during the marriage are community property. There are exceptions, primarily:
- Inheritances
- Individual gifts
These are generally considered separate property, regardless of when they were acquired.
Assets acquired before the marriage or after separation are also presumed to be separate property.
All assets and debts must be clearly identified in the divorce documentation and assigned between the parties. For the divorce to be non-contested, both spouses must agree on the complete distribution of assets.
Although the system is one of community property, the court expects the division to be fair and equitable.

Minor Children
If there are minor children, Washington law requires the preparation of:
- A A Parenting Plan
- AnAn Order of Child Support
The Parenting Plan establishes where the children will reside daily until age 18 and how parental responsibilities will be distributed.
Generally, the court designates one parent as the primary residential parent, although important decision-making is typically shared between both parents.

Pregnancy
If the wife is pregnant, this circumstance must be reported to the court. The second parent must also be identified. If not identified, the other spouse may be legally presumed to be the child's father.
The Parenting Plan can be adapted to the specific needs of the family. The parties are best positioned to know the structure that benefits their children.
Spousal Support
In Washington, spousal support may be agreed upon when one of the spouses needs financial assistance to reorganize their life after the divorce.
Spousal support requires an agreement between the parties and establishes a monthly amount for a specified period.
Transparency and Scope of Service
Our service is designed exclusively for non-contested divorces. If the case requires litigation or becomes disputed, independent legal representation will be recommended.
We guarantee the correct preparation of documents in accordance with Washington law. We cannot guarantee the judge's decision or the final outcome of the process.
Our friendly team is here to help you!

As such, to offer a genuinely virtual, 100% online divorce, we prepare divorce documents for filing in Lee County Circuit Court. There may be other counties where a court appearance is not required, but most counties require a court appearance.
