Kent is in the heart of the Seattle Metro area and is part of King County. As the 6^th largest city in Washington, Kent has just about everything you would expect from an big city.

Child Custody is probably the most difficult of all divorce-related issues. If you have children, the thought of losing daily contact with them can be heartbreaking. Make no mistake about it: Parents will aggressively fight to maintain custody of their kids. When it's threatened, they will go to great lengths to prove they are better parents, which means that negotiations can take a nasty turn. When emotions run high, it's important to have an attorney on your side that will help you maintain focus to prevent the court from making custody decisions without your input.

Child Support is yet another hot-button issue that we encounter during divorce negotiations. However, there are clearly-defined schedules that outline the amount of child support that a parent will have to pay monthly, which eliminate a lot of the uncertainty. Our clients are often eager to find out what the level of support will be, but much depends on their nature of the marriage. If you have questions, contact one of our Kent child support lawyers today.

Spousal Maintenance is also called alimony. Depending on the duration of the marriage and the nature of the relationship, one partner may be required to give the other partner money every month. If the marriage lasted for many years, that obligation could last for the rest of their life. When money is involved, negotiations can become emotionally charged, especially if one former spouse feels like they were wronged. If you would to find out whether you will be forced to pay, or receive, alimony, contact one of our Kent spousal maintenance lawyers for more details.

Divorce for Men is a topic on the minds of many fathers. They often worry that mothers get preferential treatment in the court, even though they feel like they would be a more suitable primary custodial parent. This is because it wasn't that long ago that mothers did receive preferential treatment in regards to child custody issues, but that is no longer the case. Still, we all want to be treated fairly in court, and the Constitution of the United States of America guarantees that right. If you're worried about fair treatment, contact one of our Kent divorce for men lawyers and find out how they can ensure your interests are always protected.
