Legal Question in Family Law in Washington
Home ownership divison
We agreed to temporary separation. It has been four months.
She's still in the home, with the children. Time is making the situation more distant and negative. I am concerned about the house, which is in both our names. I am not in a hurry to divorce yet. Should I be concerned about my rights to equitable value divison regarding the house right now? I am still paying the morgage. Or is time working against me?

If you are uncertain whether you want to obtain a divorce, you may wish to obtain a legal separation. As part of a legal separation, property rights and responsibilities can be divided.
