Addressing Ordinary and Special Concerns in Divorce
If you are getting a divorce in Washington State, you need an attorney who can handle all your concerns including:
- Property division (premarital property, marital property, retirement accounts, real estate, vehicles, bank accounts and complex financial portfolios including investments and business interests)
- Debt division (Note: creditors may still go after either of you for debt that you acquired together. But a divorce decree holds one spouse or the other responsible, enforceable by the family law court.)
- Spousal support/maintenance (alimony) if applicable
- Child custody and child support if there are minor children
Military Benefits for the Military Spouse and the Non-Military Spouse
A military divorce requires special consideration and handling of military benefits including retirement funds. After a divorce, the non-military spouse may still be eligible for continued health care and other benefits.
Experienced family law attorneys of Miller, Quinlan & Auter, P.S., Inc., are experienced and prepared to protect your rights, whether you are throughout and beyond your divorce, the non-military spouse or the military spouse.
Both military and civilian couples preparing for divorce may need expert advice on the most beneficial way to divide assets. While divorce is typically a lose-lose proposition, there are aspects of property division that may be structured in such a way as to minimize the losses of each spouse. For example, there may be tax benefits or liabilities associated with "keeping the house" versus preserving rights to retirement accounts.
