FAQ
▸What Are Grounds For Divorce In Washington? Washington is a no-fault divorce state. This means there is no need to assign blame for the end of a marriage. All Washington state law requires is one spouse to declare the marriage is “irretrievably broken” and that there is no chance of reconciliation.
Bennett, a family law attorney in Woodland Hills, CA for over 30 years. “The courts will grant your divorce whether or not your spouse wants out of the marriage, since marriage can only exist if both parties consent to it.”
The other way to get divorced quickly is if the parties swiftly reach agreement on all the terms. If you and your spouse just want reach agreement and enter an “uncontested divorce”, instead see our articles on negotiating pre-filing settlements and entering agreed orders.
At least 90 days must pass before a decree is entered. This is known as the “waiting period”. However, if the parties are unable to settle during the course of the 11 month divorce case schedule, a divorce may not occur until a trial ruling 11 months later (or longer if the trial date is extended for good cause).
"Spouse" means a person who is legally married to another person. Washington state recognizes other states' determinations of legal and common-law marriages between two persons.
Washington is a no-fault state, meaning Washington courts are not allowed to consider who brought about the divorce when making most decisions. One exception is if you make a claim about an emergency that conflicts with being the respondent, the party responding to the divorce.
What is a Default Divorce in California? If due diligence fails and the spouse successfully avoids the attempts to serve the papers, the process moves into a default divorce process.
Yes, you can file without your husband's knowledge and consent. You have a constitutional right to marry whomever you like, with some narrow exceptions (eg some minors, some people you are related to, same sex persons in some states, etc.). You have about the same right to divorce, pretty much at will.
