Bellevue, Redmond WA Marital Property Division Lawyer
The Washington State courts have a generous amount of say in how the property will be divided between the dissolving couple. The judge will take all information into account and is then free to fashion what the judge feels is appropriate in each individual case. Since we are a no fault divorce state, it is up to the judge to determine what is a fair and equitable division of the property.

We can examine all of the details in your situation in order to determine the best way in which to proceed.
Several circumstances are taken into account when the court makes a property division determination. Some of the factors of the decision making are listed below, although there are many different aspects of a case that contribute to the way in which a court may divide property and assets.
- length of the marriage
- age of the parties
- the nature and extent of the community property
- the nature and extent of the separate property
- the economic circumstances of each spouse at the time the division of property is to become effective, including the desirability of awarding the family home or the right to live therein for reasonable periods to a spouse with whom the children reside the majority of the time
Given the statutory guidelines and the court's discretion, we will delve deep to find all of the issues and details of each situation in order to inform and educate the court on your specific case. Property, spousal maintenance, and child support are all considered together by the court.
