If you are a property owner seeking a divorce, you are very wise to be seeking out the help of a Seattle divorce lawyer.  Property owners have certain rights in the state of Washington, however it is very important that you understand how these rights are impacted during a divorce.

Have questions? Our Seattle Divorce Lawyer can help.

Washington is a community property state. This means that both spouses own an equal interest in all of the property acquired during the marriage from community funds. Unless a pre-nuptial or post-nuptial agreement specifically provides otherwise, all income earned by the spouses during the marriage is community property. This property can include:

• Physical property such as a house
• Pensions
• Bank accounts (including savings)
• Investments
• Debts

Property division is an extremely important part of any dissolution or separation. Individuals have a right to a just and equitable share of all the property to which they have a legal claim.
