Divorce
Child Support
We routinely assist unmarried parents with establishing residential schedules, decision-making provisions and other helpful co-parenting tools through parenting plan and child support orders. Washington Law Help’s guide to Parenting Plans can be a helpful resource when researching basics: https://www.washingtonlawhelp.org/resource/parenting-plans-court-orders-about-child-cust.
Child Custody and Visitation
Washington law requires a parenting plan in any proceeding for annulment, legal separation or marital dissolution where minor children are involved. The terms “child custody” and “visitation” are no longer used in Washington dissolution law. Instead, the parents by agreement (or the court in the event of a dispute) must develop a parenting plan.
Adoption
Paternity
Betsy Brinson’s pragmatic, measured approach to advocacy has benefited the Whatcom County legal community for over thirty years. She began her career as a deputy prosecuting attorney, including three years in child support enforcement and determination of paternity. In 1990, Betsy began exploring other areas of law in private practice, and, by 1992, that practice evolved exclusively to family law.
Spousal Support
Spousal maintenance may be awarded where there is need on the part of one spouse and ability to pay by the other.
Legal Separation
Our office primarily focuses on divorce, legal separation, parenting visitation schedules, and adoption with a preference for collaboration whenever possible.
Annulment
Annulment is a court-ordered dissolution of an invalid marriage. Technically called a “Decree of Invalidity,” it nullifies a marriage from its inception and is granted in situations where no valid marriage exists because of a specific legal defect. The criteria are very strict and annulment is a very rare proceeding.

Restraining Order
To start a dissolution proceeding, one spouse (called the “ Petitioner “) must file with the court a summons and “petition” for dissolution of marriage. Upon filing, depending on the county, the court may, on its own, without request, issue a restraining order.

Tax Law
Property settlements and family support arrangements can have serious tax consequences to one or both spouses. Tax-filing status will be affected by a decree of dissolution, annulment or legal separation. Legal or accountantï¿ 1/2s fees incurred for tax planning and advice in connection with a marital proceeding may be partially deductible.
