How does the court determine child custody in Washington?
- In Washington, child custody decisions are based on what is in the best interest of the child. This includes considering factors such as the child’s relationship with each parent, the ability of each parent to care for the child, and the child’s emotional and physical well-being. Our attorneys work tirelessly to advocate for your rights and ensure that your case is presented effectively.
What if my child custody case involves international issues?
- If your case involves international custody matters, the process can become complex. The United States is a party to the Hague Convention, which helps protect children who are wrongfully taken across international borders. Our attorneys are experienced in handling international family law matters, navigating the challenges of cross-border custody disputes, and providing strategic solutions.

Child support in Washington is generally based on guidelines established by the Revised Code of Washington. However, deviations may be necessary in cases such as high-income situations or if the child has special needs. We work to ensure that child support arrangements are fair and tailored to your unique circumstances, and we can assist in modifying existing orders when appropriate.
