Do You Qualify for an Agreed Dissolution?
Washington is a "No-Fault" state, but you must agree on everything to avoid a trial.
Use this kit if:
- ✓ You or your spouse currently live in Washington State (or are stationed here).
- ✓ You agree the marriage is Irretrievably Broken.
- ✓ Your spouse is willing to sign the Joinder (to skip formal service).
- ✓ You can wait the mandatory 90-day cooling-off period.
Talk to a lawyer if:
- ✕ Neither spouse is a resident of Washington.
- ✕ Your spouse refuses to sign the Joinder (Contested Case).
- ✕ You have a "Covenant Marriage" (rare, requires special grounds).
- ✕ You have complex assets like Boeing pensions or Amazon stock options to divide.

Frequently Asked Questions
“What is the 90-day waiting period?”
Washington law (RCW 26.09.030) requires a minimum 90-day wait from the date the Petition is filed and served (or joined) before a judge can sign the Decree of Dissolution.
“What is a Joinder?”
A Joinder is a document signed by the non-filing spouse (Respondent). It states that they agree to the Petition and waive the need for formal service. This is the key to a fast uncontested divorce.
“Do we have to take a parenting class?”
Yes. If you have minor children, most Washington counties require both parents to complete a court-approved parenting seminar before the divorce is finalized.
“Do I have to go to court?”
In many counties (like Lincoln, King, Pierce), if you have a fully agreed case with a signed Joinder and all documents correct, you can often finalize the divorce by mail or ex parte without a formal hearing.
