Asked by a user in Seattle, WA - 28 days ago.

It is very important that your attorney is with you. If you are not comfortable with who is representing you, find a new attorney ASAP.

I was mentally ill when married. I had severe Mixed Mode Bipolar Disorder. I would have just about married anyone.

Asked by a user in Auburn, WA - 4 months ago.

It is important that you get in touch with an attorney as soon as possible to discuss your options. It sounds as though you may have lacked capacity. Make an appointment sooner rather than later.

My husbands attorney typed up a Decree of Dissolution last december, with the division of property, both agreed on.Is it binding

Asked by a user in Maple Valley, WA - 18 days ago.

It sounds like the offer that was made to you was a proposal and that it may no longer be on the table. Your options are to go forward with your current attorney and take their advice, fire them and hire a new attorney, or fire them and go forward unrepresented and work directly with his attorney.

How long is a divorce settlement offer in writing good for?

Asked by a user in Maple Valley, WA - about 1 month ago.

Agree with the above. There is no set amount of time an offer is good for. Without knowing more about your case it is impossible to tell you why it was withdrawn. Perhaps ask your attorney as they know your case best.

Is my son's attorney doing his job?

Asked by a user in Puyallup, WA - 5 months ago.

You seem to have a lot of complicated questions that can't really be answered over the internet. Your best bet will be to get a second opinion from another attorney. Bring all of the paperwork you have so they can go over everything with you.

I filed for divorce two weeks ago. When do I have to start paying my alimony and child support

Asked by a user in Seattle, WA - 27 days ago.

While you aren't ordered to pay support until the court tells you to, you will look awful if you leave her and your children high and dry. Try and come to an agreement, preferably in writing, so you both can make by each month. You can get this agreement entered with the court as a temporary order until you guys reach a final agreement.
