FAQ
In an uncontested divorce, you can also attach Findings and Conclusions About a Marriage (FL Divorce 231) and the Final Divorce Order (FL Divorce 241), which are required to finalize the divorce process and must be signed and notarized by both spouses.
If your spouse does not respond, it will not stall the divorce process, and it might actually help your divorce move through the legal system quickly. At that point, a motion for an Order of Default can be filed, allowing you to complete the divorce without your spouse.
You do not need your spouse's signature for a divorce in Washington. Washington is a no-fault state, which means that both spouses need not agree to the divorce for the court to grant it.
You both must sign the documents before a notary; however, you do not have to do it together. Also, I would recommend getting a local divorce attorney. If you cannot afford one, you may check with a local legal aid organization.
▸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.
Can I serve divorce papers myself? No. Only a non-party to the case who is over the age of 18 can serve divorce papers under Washington law.
Filing the Petition for the Dissolution of Marriage The divorce begins when you file the Petition for Dissolution of Marriage, the Summons, the Confidential Information Form and the Vital Statistics form in the Superior Court of Washington in the county where you or your spouse resides.
The Don'ts of Divorce Don't take matters into your own hands. Don't go against court rulings. Don't expose your kids to your animosity. Don't confide in your kids. Don't try to be a hero. Don't rush into another relationship. Don't forget to be a parent.
Mistake #1: Waiting Too Long to Get a Divorce. If you know your marriage is over but just want to wait a little longer, a lot of bad things can happen.
If the divorce was granted in Western Australia you will need to contact the Family Court of Western Australia to obtain proof of divorce. Helpful Hint: In most cases, the divorce order takes effect one month and one day after the divorce is granted. You cannot request proof of divorce before this time.
