FAQ

The short answer is: In Washington, divorce takes a minimum of 90 days. That's the absolute minimum, but many take much longer. The 90-day clock starts when you or your spouse file the divorce action.

For venue to be proper, you must file in either the county where your spouse, the respondent, lives, or the county where you live. If you file for divorce in the county where you live and your spouse wants to change locations to the county where he or she lives, the court may permit a change of venue.

Change of venue is the transfer of a legal action from one county to another county for trial. In criminal cases a change of venue is permitted if, for example, the court believes the defendant cannot receive a fair trial in a given county.

You can file a divorce petition in the county where you live, or the county where your spouse lives. If you have questions about whether to file in Washington, talk with a lawyer, or read our publications about Washington divorce law (links below).
