Property Division in Seattle

Understanding property division - Our Seattle divorce attorneys will help you get a fair agreement

Property division can be one of the most difficult aspects of a Seattle divorce, often leading to a great deal of resentment and frustration from one or both parties. Part of this is human nature, because what one person considers fair may seem completely unfair to the other party. Reaching an agreement might be easy if only a few assets are involved in a Seattle divorce, but when there are many assets the divorce can devolve into a contentious battle.

When you obtain a Seattle divorce, assets are equally divided between you and your spouse, whether the property is communal or separate. The role of your Seattle divorce lawyer is to consider your personal goals during negotiations with your spouse, so that they can focus on securing the assets that are most important to you.

Our Seattle divorce attorneys can try to protect assets that you obtained before becoming legally married in Washington State. The reason for this is because Washington law does not consider property that was obtained before a marriage as a community asset.

What you need most during divorce negotiations, or in court, is legal counsel from Washington state divorce attorneys that you can trust. Property division will likely be one of the most important parts of your Seattle divorce, so you should rely on experience and dedication from qualified divorce attorneys to protect your interests.

"I can't say enough great things about Jason Newcombe Law Office. I am retired military and I highly recommend Jason Newcombe Law Office. I reached out to Jason's office after sitting for hours reviewing multiple Domestic Violence Law Offices in King County. He responded before that day was over. I spoke with Jason's both in-person and by phone; felt very comfortable with his years of experience and straight talk. He took on my case, took me through the process with sound advice. The Attorney Erin Lane who accompanied me with my court appearances; can't praise and thank her enough for her time, selflessness and educational information prior to each court appearance. She made a really daunting task for me less fearful, given such grim circumstances. I am forever grateful for Jason and the Team of Attorneys." Tommy Harville
