Description

The Washington separation agreement without financial disclosure is a legal document designed for married individuals with adult children who are contemplating a divorce. This form outlines each party's rights, obligations, and plan for asset and debt division during their separation. It is essential to complete the form using a computer or by typing, and both parties must sign it in the presence of a notary public. Importantly, the agreement specifies that financial disclosures are made, although in this variant, no financial details are required. The form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants as it provides a structured framework to settle marital issues without needing detailed financial information. It emphasizes fair asset allocation and responsibilities for debts while allowing parties to waive rights to alimony or support. Furthermore, it is advisable for users to consult legal counsel before signing, ensuring that they understand the implications of the agreement. This document is legally binding upon approval by the appropriate court, making it clear that any asset or debt divisions agreed upon will hold weight in a divorce proceeding.

FAQ

Most agreed divorce services in Washington State charge between $500 and $700 including the $300+ court filing fee. Our firm recommends an agreed divorce service named Peaceful Separations, which charges closer to $700 including the court filing fee.

The process for legal separation in Washington is virtually the same as divorce, meaning if you can meet the state's divorce requirements, and both spouses agree to the legal separation, the court will honor your wishes. The process begins when either spouse files a petition (request) with the local court.

How will you and the other parent share parenting time and responsibilities? Who will the children live with?Will one parent pay child support? If so, how much will they pay?Will one partner/spouse pay support? If so, how much will they pay?Will the agreement bind your estate? Your partner's estate?

A Decree of Legal Separation can be converted to a Final Divorce Order if six months have passed since the Decree of Legal Separation has been granted by the Court. Either spouse can make the motion to the court.

The agreement is not legally binding and has no power to determine any issues that may be in dispute, but courts will take it into strong consideration when making a ruling. A separation agreement can be used as proof of the exact date on which you split from your partner.

Marital Domestic Separation and Property Settlement Agreement Adult Children Parties May have Joint Property or Debts where Divorce Action Filed

Note: This summary is not intended to be an all inclusive discussion of the law of separation agreements in Washington State, but does include basic and other provisions.

General Summary:

Separation and Property Agreements may be entered into before a divorce is filed to be effective immediately. Upon the filing of a Petition for Dissolution or Legal Separation, the contract, except for those terms providing for a parenting plan for their children, shall be binding upon the court unless it finds, after considering the economic circumstances of the parties and any other relevant evidence produced by the parties on their own motion or on request of the court, that the separation contract was unfair at the time of its execution. If a property settlement agreement is incorporated into the decree, it is not subject to later modification.

Statutes:

Separation contracts:

(1) The parties to a marriage, in order to promote the amicable settlement of disputes attendant upon their separation or upon the filing of a petition for dissolution of their marriage, a decree of legal separation, or declaration of invalidity of their marriage, may enter into a written separation contract providing for the maintenance of either of them, the disposition of any property owned by both or either of them, the parenting plan and support for their children and for the release of each other from all obligation except that expressed in the contract.

(2) If the parties to such contract elect to live separate and apart without any court decree, they may record such contract and cause notice thereof to be published in a legal newspaper of the county wherein the parties resided prior to their separation.

Recording such contract and publishing notice of the making thereof shall constitute notice to all persons of such separation and of the facts contained in the recorded document.

(3) If either or both of the parties to a separation contract shall at the time of the execution thereof, or at a subsequent time, petition the court for dissolution of their marriage, for a decree of legal separation, or for a declaration of invalidity of their marriage, the contract, except for those terms providing for a parenting plan for their children, shall be binding upon the court unless it finds, after considering the economic circumstances of the parties and any other relevant evidence produced by the parties on their own motion or on request of the court, that the separation contract was unfair at the time of its execution.

Child support may be included in the separation contract and shall be reviewed in the subsequent proceeding for compliance with RCW 26.19.020.

(4) If the court in an action for dissolution of marriage, legal separation, or declaration of invalidity finds that the separation contract was unfair at the time of its execution, it may make orders for the maintenance of either party, the disposition of their property and the discharge of their obligations.

(5) Unless the separation contract provides to the contrary, the agreement shall be set forth in the decree of dissolution, legal separation, or declaration of invalidity, or filed in the action or made an exhibit and incorporated by reference, except that in all cases the terms of the parenting plan shall be set out in the decree, and the parties shall be ordered to comply with its terms.

(6) Terms of the contract set forth or incorporated by reference in the decree may be enforced by all remedies available for the enforcement of a judgment, including contempt, and are enforceable as contract terms.

(7) When the separation contract so provides, the decree may expressly preclude or limit modification of any provision for maintenance set forth in the decree.

Terms of a separation contract pertaining to a parenting plan for the children and, in the absence of express provision to the contrary, terms providing for maintenance set forth or incorporated by reference in the decree are automatically modified by modification of the decree.

(8) If at any time the parties to the separation contract by mutual agreement elect to terminate the separation contract they may do so without formality unless the contract was recorded as in subsection (2) of this section, in which case a statement should be filed terminating the contract. RCW 26.09.070 [emphasis added]

Modification of decree for maintenance or support, property disposition --

Termination of maintenance obligation and child support -- Grounds:

(1) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (7) of RCW 26.09.070, the provisions of any decree respecting maintenance or support may be modified:

(a) Only as to installments accruing subsequent to the petition for modification or motion for adjustment except motions to compel court-ordered adjustments, which shall be effective as of the first date specified in the decree for implementing the adjustment; and,

(b) except as otherwise provided in subsections (4), (5), (8), and (9) of this section, only upon a showing of a substantial change of circumstances. The provisions as to property disposition may not be revoked or modified, unless the court finds the existence of conditions that justify the reopening of a judgment under the laws of this state.

(2) Unless otherwise agreed in writing or expressly provided in the decree the obligation to pay future maintenance is terminated upon the death of either party or the remarriage of the party receiving maintenance.

(3) Unless otherwise agreed in writing or expressly provided in the decree, provisions for the support of a child are terminated by emancipation of the child or by the death of the parent obligated to support the child.

RCW 26.09.170

Case Law:

Under RCW 26.09.070(3), amicable agreements are preferred to adversarial resolution of property questions, and the separation contract is, therefore, binding on the parties unless the trial court finds it "unfair" at the time of execution. In re Marriage of Little, 96 Wn.2d 183, 192, 634 P.2d 498 (1981).RCW 26.09.070(3) gives even wider latitude to marital partners to independently dispose of their property by contract, free from court supervision. Nelson v. Collier, 85 Wn.2d 602, 610, 537 P.2d 765 (1975).

A "property settlement agreement" incorporated into a dissolution decree that was not appealed cannot be later modified. Valaer v. Valaer, 45 Wn.2d 565, 570, 277 P.2d 326 (1954).
