I CANNOT help you with (but will help you find someone that can):

• De facto parentage actions nor minor guardianships;

• Actions that involve the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978, or the Washington State Indian Child Welfare Act;

• Division of assets of a business, commercial property or real estate exceeding an amount what is prescribed in Regulation 2(B)(2)(d);

• Any retirement assets whereby the decree effectuates the division or the implementation of the division of the asset;

• Bankruptcies - in general (I am happy to explain this);

• Property issues in committed intimate relationship actions;

• Major parenting plan modifications beyond the adequate cause hearing unless the terms are agreed to by the parties, or one party defaults;

• UCCJEA matters unless jurisdiction matters have been resolved; and

• Final revised parenting plans in relocation actions except in the event of default or where the terms have been agreed to by the parties.
