Patrick Songy continues his weekly divorce blog this week with a discussion on what happens legally when parties live separate for several years before a divorce.

Lots of people put off getting divorced. The reasons are not hard to understand. Divorces are terrifying, expensive, mysterious, and disruptive.

Partner Patrick Songy has continued his family law blog, which provides information for common topics in divorces.

This week's column is an introduction to temporary orders motions, which are important initial determinations of child custody, child support, alimony, and the temporary use of property.

Stay tuned in future weeks, as he goes into more detail on these topics.

There is an old adage among family law lawyers that 80% of the work in a family law case happens in the first six weeks. Today, I would like to explain how the temporary orders work in family law cases in Snohomish County, and hopefully by the time we are done, you will see how that old adage is usu...

New blog from partner Patrick Songy about how long divorces take and why on his blog, Separation with Integrity. We field these sorts of questions all the time when new clients come in, so we are glad Pat is willing to make this information available for everyone who has to go through the difficult process of divorce.

This is one of the most common questions that I get. Unfortunately, the correct answer is always "it depends." With that said, here are some guidelines to get a sense of how long your dissolution case might take in Snohomish County Superior Court. Under Washington law, there must be at least a 90 da...

We hope all our clients are doing well in this difficult time.

We have made our adjustment to largely remote operations and our happy to report that we are still able to effectively assist our clients as we always have.

We thought the information below would be helpful, so we are sharing it here. Please review it to see the ways the newly passed stimulus package may assist you, your family, and your business as we all go through this health crisis.

It's been a long week on the Hill, but the Senate has finally reached an agreement on a bill intended to provide direct economic relief in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The measure passed late Wednesday.

No doubt these are challenging times. As citizens of Snohomish County our primary obligation is to do what is necessary to protect you from the threat of illness. Please rest assured that we are taking every precaution to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

In order to ensure that our clients have continued access to effective legal representation, we have implemented a robust virtual office procedure. Our lawyers and staff are available for video and telephone conferencing, and we ask that you strongly consider these alternatives to in-person meetings. Although we are regularly disinfecting surfaces throughout the day and stringently observing social distancing, the best way to prevent the spread of coronavirus is to limit person-to-person contact.

Every legal need is unique, and it is impossible to have a “one size fits all” approach. Although we will miss having direct contact with you, it is certainly possible to address many matters via telephone, video conference, and email. Our pledge is that we will remain available to you, and there will be minimal disruption to our legal services during this time.
Thank you very much for the opportunity to serve your needs.
