Kirkland Divorce FAQs

Should I File For Legal Separation Instead Of Divorce?

Legal separation can be filed if you do not yet qualify for divorce in Washington, or if it is your preference to file for a legal separation. Legal separation is handled similarly to divorce, but you continue to be legally married. Before deciding on whether to file for divorce or legal separation, we encourage you to consult with one of our divorce attorneys. Read McKinley Irvin’s Guide to Getting a Divorce in Washington State to learn more about legal separation.

Should I Mediate?

Some couples participate in mediation to work out the details of their divorce outside of court. Usually, both spouses attend mediation with their attorneys, and a third-party mediator facilitates discussion and negotiation. Most of the time, people choose to participate in mediation to resolve their differences, but sometimes they participate in mediation because they are ordered to do so by a judge. Mediation can be a good alternative to trial if both parties are willing to communicate. Most Washington courts require that parties attempt to mediate prior to attending a trial.

How Will Our Assets And Debts Be Divided?

In Washington state and King County, community property is divided equitably. This means that community property (assets and debts acquired during the marriage) are divided in a manner that is fair and equitable to both parties. Separate property is usually not divided, but may be considered in certain circumstances to make a property division more fair. Gifts and inheritance are typically not subject to property division. Complex assets, like business interests, retirement accounts, investments, etc. require skilled analysis to determine how they will be divided equitably. Learn more about division of assets and debts in our Guide to Getting a Divorce in Washington State.

How Long Does A Divorce Take In Kirkland?

Divorces in King County are processed through the King County Courthouse in downtown Seattle. The length of time before a divorce is finalized varies greatly. At the very minimum, there is a 90-day waiting period in Washington that starts on the date the petition requesting a divorce is filed and served. A divorce can be finalized at the conclusion of that 90-day period. Divorces may take longer to process, depending on the complexity of the case and how quickly the parties can reach agreement. Most divorces take between four to eighteen months to be resolved. Your attorney can give you an idea of how long your particular divorce case might take. Read our blog post “How Long Does a Divorce Take” to learn about factors that contribute to the length of a divorce.
