| Client Questionnaire |
This form is an important part of the dissolution process. It asks for information about you and your spouse that is used in part to draft the pleadings that are necessary to begin your case.

Washington State Department of Social and Health Services
Child support payments are monies to be paid on a monthly basis to the custodial parent, or the parent who has the child the majority of the time. The amount paid is determined by a calculation and formula that was created by the Washington State Legislature. Deviations to this standard calculation may apply in some cases. We will discuss these opinions to this “standard calculation” at your initial consultation and interview with DLFM. You can access this site to calculate your approximate child support obiligation.

Parenting Plan
| Parenting Plan Form |
When there are children involved in a dissolution process, a Parenting Plan is a necessary part of this process. This “blank copy” of a Parenting Plan is a helpful tool when it comes to creating a Plan that “as you see it,” would be in the best interest of the children, while at the same time satisfying your need to parent your children. There are several opinions available when it comes to creating a Parenting Plan that will work for you. We will discuss these opinions at your initial consultation and interview with DLFM. |
Declaration
| Declaration Form |
Much of the evidence presented in your divorce case will be in the form of written statements presented at pre-trial hearing. These statements will help the court to make decisions of the issues of child custody, visitation, support, payment of debts and possession of property. A Declaration is a formal statement under oath that can be admitted into evidence at the hearing. The declarations can be from family members, friends with special knowledge, health care providers, teachers, or anyone else with helpful knowledge about the issues the court is trying to decide. This form allows you to go directly to the person and have them complete the form which you will bring back to the office. Discuss the proper use of the Declaration Form with your DLFM attorney. |
