How Divorce Works in Washington State
Washington's divorce process follows a few basic rules that are helpful to understand before filing.
In Washington, divorce is formally called a dissolution of marriage, and the legal ground for it is that the marriage is irretrievably broken. One spouse starts the case by filing a petition with the court under RCW 26.09.030. The court can't finalize the divorce until at least 90 days have passed since the petition was filed and the other spouse was served.
From there, a lot depends on how the other spouse responds. If they join the petition or don't deny that the marriage is irretrievably broken, the court enters a decree of dissolution. If they do deny it, the court looks at all relevant factors, including what led to the filing and whether reconciliation is realistic. For parents, the same 90-day minimum applies to the final permanent parenting plan under RCW 26.09.181.
