A Central Spokane Office Serving Families Across Eastern Washington

Our Spokane office is located at the Flour Mill in downtown Spokane, a well-known landmark near the Spokane River and the heart of the city. We offer both in-person and virtual meetings to accommodate demanding schedules, long commutes, and clients who live outside the immediate Spokane area.

Eastern Washington families often carry multiple responsibilities at once. Many parents work in military service, public safety, healthcare, education, transportation, or small business ownership. Others juggle shift work, travel, or seasonal demands. These realities affect parenting plans, child support calculations, and financial decisions in ways that generic legal advice does not address.

Whether you are facing divorce, planning for your children’s future, or navigating the court process after a loss, the first step is building a plan you can trust.

Courts That Will Shape Your Case

Spokane County Superior Court

Spokane County operates one of the most complex court systems in Eastern Washington, with structured family law procedures and busy calendars. Many hearings allow remote participation, but parties must still follow strict rules, confirm hearings properly, and be prepared to present their case clearly. Each matter is assigned to a specific judicial officer, and understanding that structure helps avoid delays and missteps.

Lincoln County Superior Court

Lincoln County allows many uncontested divorces to proceed electronically without a court appearance. While this can be efficient, it also carries risk if agreements are rushed or not carefully reviewed. For contested matters, remote hearings may be permitted with advance approval, and preparation remains essential.

Stevens and Pend Oreille Counties

Stevens and Pend Oreille counties share judicial resources in a multi-county structure. Remote appearances are often available, including by telephone or video, but filings and procedures must still comply with each county’s clerk and local rules. Knowing where flexibility exists, and where it does not, helps cases move forward smoothly.

Whitman County and Other Eastern Washington Filings

When a case is filed outside Spokane County, local procedure still matters. Filing requirements, scheduling practices, and court expectations vary by county. We help clients plan strategically based on where their case will actually be heard.

How We Support Families Through Every Transition

Families face different pressures during divorce, custody disputes, estate planning, and probate. Preparation creates stability. Our Spokane office helps you make informed decisions, reduce uncertainty, and move forward with confidence at every stage.

Divorce With Children: Strategy That Protects Your Parenting Role

Divorce involving children is never just about ending a marriage. It is about restructuring a family in a way that preserves stability, consistency, and meaningful parent-child relationships. Spokane courts expect clear parenting plans and realistic proposals that reflect real-life schedules and responsibilities.

Common divorce issues we help Spokane families address include:

• Parenting plans aligned with school schedules and work demands
• Temporary orders that establish stability early in the case
• Child support calculations involving overtime, variable income, or multiple jobs
• Property division when finances are complex or unevenly controlled
• High-conflict co-parenting and communication boundaries
• Agreements designed to hold up over time, not unravel months later

Protecting Your Children: Parenting Plans, Custody, and Fathers’ Rights

A parenting plan determines where a child lives, how decisions are made, and how conflict is handled. These plans must work in practice, not just on paper. We represent both mothers and fathers, with a focus on preserving each parent’s meaningful role while prioritizing the child’s stability.

Spokane-area custody cases often involve:

• Nonstandard or rotating work schedules
• Long-distance parenting time between households
• Disputes over education, healthcare, or extracurricular activities
• Safety concerns and enforcement challenges
• Requests to modify existing parenting plans

Military Custody and High-Demand Careers

Spokane has strong military and public-sector ties, including families connected to Fairchild Air Force Base. Deployments, training, and unpredictable schedules can strain even cooperative co-parenting relationships. Parenting plans must account for these realities while protecting the child’s need for consistency.

Unmarried Couples and Committed Intimate Relationships

Many couples in Eastern Washington build long-term lives together without marrying. When those relationships end, questions about property, debt, and parenting can become complicated quickly. Washington law provides frameworks for addressing these issues, but outcomes depend heavily on preparation and evidence.

Child Support: Getting the Numbers Right

Child support affects both a child’s stability and a parent’s ability to move forward. Spokane cases often involve variable income, self-employment, overtime, or changing residential schedules. Accurate calculations and proper documentation matter.
