Divorce and Separation

Our divorce lawyers understand how difficult it is to end a marriage or relationship. Our foremost goal is to make this stressful process easier for you. We handle every step of the divorce process, no matter how complicated it gets. Both Washington and Oregon are no-fault divorce states, so one spouse may not refuse the request for divorce but may contest the specifics of it. They may disagree with the distribution of assets, custody, spousal and child support and anything else involved.

Gearing Rackner & McGrath also has a collaborative divorce practice that is ready to settle uncontested divorces out of court. This process can help divorcing couples resolve things in their own time and words.
