Seattle Family Law Attorneys
When you and your spouse decide to officially part ways, the transition can be challenging. Even when both partners agree that the relationship is over, rearranging your life is never easy.
If you share children, property, or other important things, it usually complicates the process, and navigating that process on your own becomes increasingly difficult. That is why it’s in your best interest to find an experienced family law attorney in Seattle.
Not only are attorneys familiar with the law and how it applies to your situation, but they’ll take much of the busywork burden off your shoulders, giving you more time to heal, adjust, and spend time with those who support you.
Envision Family Law Focus Areas
Family law is a broad legal category including everything from divorce to child support to relocation. We take pride in offering legal services in many of these areas, always treating our clients with compassion while working tirelessly for their well-being and that of their families.
Learn a bit more about some of our primary practice areas to determine what services you may need most.
Skilled Divorce Attorney In Seattle
If you’re seriously considering divorce, your first step should be to seek legal counsel, either on your own or with your spouse. A divorce attorney in Seattle will be able to guide you through the vital steps and manage the legal aspect while you concentrate on other areas of your life.
Some divorces are contested, while others move forward without pushback from either party. It’s true that your spouse doesn’t have to agree to the divorce for you to obtain one. However, the process will be smoother if you both have the same end goal.
We recommend speaking with a divorce lawyer, even if you haven’t yet discussed divorce with your spouse. Your attorney can advise on the best path forward and how to prevent the other party from withholding property, children or information in order to keep you from leaving.
Child Support Attorneys For Seattle Families
When parents decide to divorce, they usually want as little disruption to their children’s lives as possible. One solution is to ensure there’s enough money to provide them with food and shelter, as well as the things they need to feel loved and protected.
Your family law attorney in Seattle will help negotiate who pays child support, how much, and what steps will be taken to enforce the final court order. It’s important to build an agreement that is both realistic and fair.
For us, the most important thing is that your children’s safety and well-being are top priority. We work hard to respect their privacy and input (depending on their age, of course) while doing all we can to build the right child support agreement.
Child Custody Attorney In Seattle
Parents need child custody agreements for a range of reasons. Divorce is a common one, though unmarried parents may also need a custody order. Our family law attorneys also work with LGBTQ and military families who may be dealing with unique circumstances.
Like child support cases, child custody is about the well-being of the children involved. The attorneys will look at who performs what parenting functions, who has the proper resources for doing so, and how the parents have historically prioritized their children over other things in their life.
Knowledgeable Family Law Divorce Attorneys
Most people don’t have a great deal of experience when it comes to navigating divorce. It tends to be an emotional transition, even when the parties don’t share children or assets and agree that ending the marriage is for the best.
This is one reason it’s so important to work with a divorce attorney in Seattle. Our lawyers know how to look at cases and find the spots that need more attention, will require skilled negotiation, and could be problematic in a trial.
Experienced Child Custody Attorneys In Every Case
When you and your child’s other parent can’t easily agree on a custody arrangement, it’s important to work with a third party who has your family’s best interests in mind.
Child custody negotiations have the potential to be highly emotional and even frightening; involving a family law attorney in Seattle lessens that weight for you and your children.
