Legal Question in Family Law in Washington

Re: Legal Separation

Not sure what you mean by "Legally Separated" as this to a lawyer means the Court has ruled on all property and support issues. If this is the case check your order and see or discuss with the attorney who handled the matter. If however you are separated which is what I presume you really are then there are two issues. First the legal issue. You can rent out part of the house as that is your business. Legally is should not cause any problems. The second is the political issue with your ex. She may not like this and take a harder stand then she would normally. You should discuss this with your attorney. If you do not have one you need to get one if your ex did run off. You may still have some liability for her actions so you need to meet with an attorney to sort out what actions you need to take now to protect your assests.
