Washington Attachment for Residential Split Adjustment (WARS) is a Washington State Department of Revenue program that provides tax relief to homeowners who split their residential property between two or more owners. The WARS program allows homeowners to reduce the amount of state taxes due when they sell, transfer, or refinance their split-interest residential property. WARS is available for the following types of split-interest residential property: (1) condominiums, (2) cooperatives, (3) planned unit developments (Puds), (4) manufactured/mobile homes, (5) owner-occupied duplexes, (6) single-family residences, (7) town homes, and (8) vacation homes. Under the WARS program, homeowners can reduce their state taxes by up to 50% of the amount due on the sale, transfer, or refinance of their split-interest residential property. The amount of tax relief provided by WARS is based on the ratio of ownership between the owners. The owner with the highest ratio of ownership will receive the majority of the tax relief. The WARS program is administered by the Washington State Department of Revenue and is available to all Washington State homeowners who split their residential property between two or more owners. Homeowners must submit an application to the Department of Revenue in order to receive the tax relief provided by the WARS program.

FAQ
Even with 50/50 shared custody, the economically stronger parent will often be ordered to pay child support to the economically weaker parent.
Child support doesn't change automatically with life changes, however if you have an open case with the Division of Child Support, you can ask DCS to review your order for changes (called a modification). You may ask DCS to review your order for modification at any time.
The statute provides for a review and potential adjustment of child support every two years. If 24 months have passed from the date of the entry of the child support order or since the last modification (whichever is latest), the order may be adjusted without a showing of substantially changed circumstances.
Generally, a Motion to Adjust is quicker than a petition. It can take a month or less. How long a Petition to Modify Child Support Order takes will depend in part on the county you are filing in, if the other parent lives in Washington, and how you have your court papers served on them.

When a parent is awarded primary physical custody of a child (custodial parent), the other (noncustodial) parent will have regular visitation rights under Washington's child custody guidelines. At a minimum, the noncustodial parent must receive one weeknight visit and every other weekend.
The length of time depends on several things. Sometimes you can receive a child support payment within the first month after DCS takes collection action. The process can take longer if there is no child support order, the paying parent is on public assistance, has no assets, or lives in another state.
To change a child support order in Washington State, there are two different ways to proceed. One is to file a Motion for Adjustment of Child Support and the other is to submit a Petition to Modify Child Support. Each one has specific requirements and whether to file one or the other depends greatly on the situation.
