The Law Office of Amanda J. Cook is a full service family law firm located in Gig Harbor, Washington. Because we limit our work to only one area of the law, we do it exceptionally well. In addition to knowing the mechanics of a divorce, child support, or custody case, we understand relationships. Relationships are emotional and emotions drive motives.
There is no other area of law in which the process is so affected by the emotions. Many family law attorneys will attempt to treat a divorce as a sterile business transaction, refusing to acknowledge the emotional element. We think that's a mistake. Your attorney serves you best when he or she understands the motives of your opponent, and in family law, those motives are typically driven by people's emotions.

Services
Child Custody & Visitation
Report
The lawyers at the Law Office of Amanda J. Cook PLLC can help you understand your rights to child custody and visitation when you and your spouse are seeking separation or divorce. Whether you are a mother or father, we believe that all fit and loving parents have the right to custody or visitation with their child, and want to assist you in understanding the laws and how to navigate the legal process.
Child & Spousal Support
Report
If you are the parent of a child that does not live primarily with you, or if you are getting a divorce from your spouse, the court may order you to pay child support and/or spousal support. If you have questions about these two types of support, what to do if you are ordered to pay them, or what to do if your spouse has been ordered to make payments and is not, our law firm can help.
Collaborative Law
Report
The provisions of a court order absolutely must be followed. If someone is not following parenting or support orders, he or she may be brought before the judge on a motion for contempt. If the judge finds that a person has knowingly refused to follow a court order, a wide array of sanctions can be imposed, including monetary fines or even imprisonment.
Division of Assets and Liabilities
Report
If you are planning to file for divorce in Washington state, or if your spouse already has filed for divorce, it is essential to learn more about the division of assets and liabilities in the state. For the most part, any property acquired after the date of your marriage and prior to the date of your separation-both assets and liabilities-will be subject to division in your divorce.
Divorce & Legal Separation
Report
As a results-driven law firm, we strive to focus on the end goal rather than getting bogged down in the process. All too often a divorcing spouse can "lose the forest for the trees." Don't let your attorney dedicate significant financial and emotional resources to win an inconsequential battle when you should be focusing on winning the war itself.
