Practice Areas
Report
The law firm of S.L. Pitts understands the complex nature of family law litigation. A divorce has the potential to cast a long shadow on the future for individuals, as they are often tied well past separation by financial issues or obligation to children. Added conflict in a divorce can mean unnecessary additional time spent in the litigation process and lasting emotional damage that inhibits future ties.
Property Division
Report
Like most western states, Washington is a community property state. Early on, western states adopted community property regimes in order to entice women to move out west. The idea was that if women were granted actual property rights, then they would hazard the journey to the frontier. It worked. This property rights regime still governs marital property rights division in Washington to this day.

Report

Child Support
Report
Washington State uses a child support formula to determine the base monthly child support amount. The factors include the number of children, their ages, and the incomes of the parents. Depending on the variables plugged into the formula, the base child support payment will be anywhere from $200 up to $3,500 per month.
