Washington has adopted child support guidelines which apply in virtually every case, unless special circumstances are present.

Child support will continue until the child reaches the age of majority, and may be extended through his or her secondary education. It is assumed that child support will be paid by wage assignment.

Mediation

In a divorce proceeding a contested issue may be set for mediation before or concurrent with the time set for the final hearing. Either party may file a motion requesting mediation of their disputed issues, if a divorce is pending. Prior to the initiation of divorce proceedings, the parties may choose to submit any or all of their issues to mediation so that they may proceed in court on an uncontested basis.
