Helping individuals experiencing divorce since 1973

As a family-run law firm, we are sensitive to the needs of our clients. A major issue facing every divorce is the division of marital property.

Washington is a community property state. Community property includes property, assets and debt that were acquired during the marriage. This property will be divided equally. Exempt property includes items such as inheritance and gifts. Our firm strives to find successful resolutions to property division on behalf of our clients. We seek outcomes that do not destroy the familial assets. Factors that are considered in property division in a divorce case include:

• Type and amount of community property
• Type and amount of separate property
• Length of marriage
• Financial situation of each spouse at time of divorce

Mediation is often a viable option for parties going through a divorce. Mediation can be a cost-effective approach to reaching divorce settlement agreements.

Unmarried couples

Unmarried couples living together in long-term relationships in the state of Washington—or those in living in what are known as “meretricious relationships”—are recognized essentially as "married" in terms of division of assets. A meretricious relationship is defined by our courts as a “stable, marital-like relationship where both parties cohabit with knowledge that lawful marriage between them does not exist.” Our firm represents people who have ended long-term live-in relationships and now need assistance with the distribution of property and assets.

If you are interested in learning more about how the Levinson Law Offices can help you during divorce or at the end of a meretricious relationship Contact our firm today at 253-854-7440 or doug@levinsonlawoffices.com to arrange your complimentary consultation.
