Why Hire a Family Lawyer in Spokane?

Spokane County Superior Court handles all local family law matters, and its rules layer on top of Washington State statutes in ways that routinely catch self-represented parties off guard. A procedural error on a petition, financial affidavit, or parenting plan document doesn’t just cause delay. Once a judge signs an order, those mistakes can become legally binding. Working with an experienced family lawyer means your filings can be accurate, your strategy can be sound, and your interests can be protected at every stage.

Our family attorneys provide support across three areas:

Sound legal guidance: We advise you through all aspects of your matter, from child custody and spousal support to property division and post-decree modifications.
Procedural accuracy: We help keep your filings aligned with Spokane County court requirements and complete all paperwork correctly, helping keep your case on track and reduce avoidable setbacks.
Informed decision-making: We work closely with you throughout your case, explaining your options clearly so you can make informed decisions during a difficult time.

Our Family Law Services

Washington is a community property state, and under RCW 26.09.080, courts divide marital assets based on what is just and equitable given each case’s circumstances, not always an even split. Washington also uses parenting plans rather than traditional custody labels, with outcomes governed by the best interests of the child standard under RCW 26.09.002. Our focus on family law gives us a thorough understanding of how these rules apply in practice, and we bring that knowledge to every client we represent.

We handle all family law concerns, including:

“You won’t find a better lawyer!”
Our daughter was in a nightmare situation where she had been falsely arrested and had her baby taken from her by her husband. We called Ben and he has had the charges dropped and her baby returned. She is still going through the divorce process but we couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer. He has delivered on everything he said he could do and we cannot thank him enough. If you need help he’s the man to hire. He knows the law better than the competition and he gets real results.
