- Child SupportThe courts determine child support based on the parents' total income. The child support transfer payment is then proportioned based on each parent's contribution to the total combined income of the parents. The child support calculation is governed by the Washington state child support schedule.
- Child Custody and VisitationThere are options available to divorcing couples if they wish to avoid or minimize such lengthy and bitter courtroom confrontations. Issues of child custody and property division can often prevent the spouses from being able to find an agreement between one another. These couples may decide to use mediation to resolve their divorce issues and hire a mediator to help facilitate their settlement goals.
- Paternity
- Spousal SupportSpousal maintenance, formerly titled alimony, allows for the requesting spouse to provide for his/her basic needs, including housing, utilities, food, transportation, etc. The Washington courts apply several factors to determine whether spousal support is to be awarded. These include: the duration of the marriage; the discrepancy in income between the parties, weighing both spouse's assets, income, and ability to earn income; whether or not the requesting spouse requires training/education to become financially self-sufficient; and the requesting party's age and health. The amount of the spousal maintenance awarded and the duration of time during which spousal maintenance is to be paid are determined at the discretion of the court on a case-by-case basis.

- MurderWashington State defines a wrongful death as an incident “when the death of one is caused by the wrongful act of another.” The “wrongful act,” which leads to the deceased person’s fatality may have been caused by intentional, reckless, or negligent actions or omissions on the part of the defendant. Wrongful death actions are civil claims and separate from criminal charges. So even if a person is acquitted of murder in a criminal trial, the victim’s family can still pursue and sue the defendant in a civil court for wrongful death.

- Dog BitesDogs are often referred to as “Man’s Best Friend,” unfortunately dogs are animals, animals are unpredictable, and animals often bite, causing potentially devastating injuries. In reality, domestic dogs bite about 4.5 million Americans each year, half of which are children between the ages of 5 and 9. According to the Centers for Disease Control, one in five (20%) of these dog bites lead to an injury requiring medical attention. Although strays or other strange dogs can be the culprits, most attacks are caused by a familiar dog, such as a friend’s pet or even the family dog.
