At the time of divorce, frequently the most emotional and contentious issues involve the rights of parents in relationship to their children. In addition to the emotional difficulties of the divorcing couple, every member of the family is faced with the challenges of adjusting to a new life in separate households. At Feldman & Lee, P.S., we are focused on helping our clients protect their rights and the best interests of their children throughout the divorce process. From child support, custody, and parenting plan arrangements, we focus on lasting solutions for you and your family.

Child Support in Washington State

Child support determinations are based on state guidelines, but the court can deviate from those guidelines if it is appropriate. Our attorney will take a comprehensive approach to your case and submit necessary evidence to assert your rights to collect support or defend against unmanageable support obligations. We are experienced in determinations involving one or both parents being self-employed. We assist with temporary orders for support, final orders establishing support, and post-judgment requests for modification.

Administrative Hearings and Child Support

Parents may request that the Department of Social and Human Services (DSHS) administratively set child support. In this case, a custodial parent will petition for an administrative order setting child support. Recognizing the economic benefit to our clients, our firm will represent either party in these hearings.

Child Custody in Washington State

At the time of divorce, the court will designate a custodial parent and set a parenting plan to establish a visitation schedule. At every stage of the decision making process, the standard is the best interests of the child. Our role is to align your interests and rights with those of your child. We help you seek parental rights, working to secure your rights as a custodial parent or establishing substantial parenting time and visitation. We are experienced in child custody cases involving:

• Temporary custody: Temporary custody matters, including when there are allegations of domestic abuse, child abuse or neglect, alcohol or drug abuse, or abandonment
• Final order establishing custody
• Post-judgment matters: Post-judgment requests for modification or enforcement of child custody or support, including actions for contempt
• Relocation: You cannot move out of state with the child without first moving the court for approval. We will assist you in seeking court approval or in defending against relocation when a custodial parent wants to move out of state for job, remarriage, or another reason.
