Can marijuana use affect child custody in Washington State? Hi, I'm Zachary C. Ashby at Pacific Northwest Family Law.
Oftentimes we have people who come in and either they're takers of marijuana or the other parent is, and they want to know is marijuana use going to affect the child custody arrangements? How is the court going to approach it? 
Now, each court is going to be different there's a courthouse in every county and judges in every county, so there's going to be some variation, but by and large, judges will approach the question of marijuana in a couple different ways.  
One marijuana use, despite the fact that...

      Suppose the wife was the higher earner and after birthing their child, the husband became the full time carer for the child. The wife was able to keep a high earning career for say, six years, while the husband raised the child at home and dropped out of school to do so. Now in the process of divorce, the SAH father still does not have a high paying job and no longer a roof over his head. You truly believe the stay at home father should not be compensated for his time and sacrifices he made to support his family and raise his children? Just trying to clarify your statements.

    • @pacificnorthwestfamilylaw9061
      @pacificnorthwestfamilylaw9061 6 месяцев назад

      In Washington State spousal support (also call maintenance and known in other states as alimony), is based on the need of the party asking and the ability to pay of the party paying. If both parties are able to self support equally, there is likely not going to be spousal support. This is a rule create based on the idea that in a marriage one spouse typically earns a majority of the income and the other typically stays at home and manages household affairs (raising children, cooking, cleaning, maintenance, etc.). They both support the family in equal, but different ways. Alimony was designed to compensate the spouse who would have less of an income generating role for the family. When both spouses have the same income generating ability, alimony makes less sense.

      Retirement accounts are often community property, but couples will give them up without knowing that because they are in one spouse's name. And even if they do think to divide it, retirement accounts are highly regulated and there are tax implications. If the right steps are not followed to divide the retirement accounts, taxes can hit immediately or the retirement account may not be divided and this won't be discovered until years and years have gone by.

      Uncontested means that you agree on everything as part of the divorce. There is not a special filing. That said, I've outlined some dangers to trying it alone. Many people think that when you get attorneys involved it makes things more difficult. However, the right attorney will help you communicate better, make the process smoother, and decrease the time you have to devote to the court process.
