Navigating Your Way Through Divorce

Divorce, whether contested or uncontested, is seldom easy. It is a life-changing event, involving a multitude of decisions and issues to address. Whether resolving your concerns through negotiation, litigation or collaborative law, our legal team is prepared to address matters including division of marital property and debt and alimony/spousal support.

Child Custody

Child custody is often one of the most contentious areas of family law. Parents ultimately want what is best for their child. The problem is — they frequently cannot agree as to what that may be.

We help you and your former spouse or partner reach an agreement regarding the custody and visitation of your children in traditional proceedings or those involving military child custody or interstate and international custody. If you don't agree, you need someone who knows how to fight. Bruce Clement has the extensive experience and tenacious skill you will need to win. If circumstances should change after your divorced, we can also assist with the modification of your parenting plan.

Child Support

Child support is required by law. The proper calculation and payment of child support is essential to provide for the living expenses, childcare and education of your children. Child support in Washington is set by standard guidelines established by the state legislature. Bruce Clement was formerly the Assistant Attorney General who directly advised the State Division of Child Support.

Grandparent Involvement

Grandparents are the forgotten parties in many divorces. Recent court cases limiting grandparent rights have discouraged many grandparents from any court action to protect their grandchildren, even when they might actually succeed. Our law firm has developed a number of innovative ways to help in these cases. Grandparents have the right--and the duty--to help their grandchildren. Call us for a free initial consultation.
