Seattle area Divorce and Child Custody Lawyer

If you and your spouse are filing for divorce, there are many factors that must be considered. The most important is the establishment of a parenting plan that assures that your children are in a safe and stable living environment.

At the Law Office of Richard J. Moore in Bothell, Washington, we believe that a child’s best interest must be protected above all else. Our efforts are cooperative—we work closely with you to develop a plan that sufficiently addresses child custody and child support needs.

—Child Custody—

Washington state statutes have eliminated the term custody in favor of parenting plans. These plans outline a child’s residential schedule 365 days a year. Major holidays are usually divided among the parents, as are special occasions such as birthdays. and Vacations are also addressed. You and your spouse must determine with whom the children will reside a majority of the time. This parent will be designated as the primary residential parent. The other parent is deemed the non-primary residential parent.

If an agreement cannot be reached through mediation, a child’s residential schedule will be determined by the court.

Seattle divorce and child custody lawyer Richard J. Moore can advise parents on temporary custody, multi-state jurisdiction issues in accordance with Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJA), and various other child custody issues. Contact us today for more information.

—Child Support—

After a thorough assessment of each parent’s income and employment circumstances, a monthly child support payment amount will be established to help offset the financial contribution of the primary residential parent.

In addition to assisting with the establishment of child support, we have experience with child support enforcements and modifications.  If you have a child support order that the non-primary residential parent is attempting to evade, we can help.
