Legal Question in Family Law in Washington

Re: legal seperation

Please be advised that Washington State is a "no-fault" state. In other words, you do not need your husband's permission, consent, signature, or cooperation to file for divorce or legal separation. All you have to do is simply file your summons and petition for legal separation with the court and have someone other than yourself serve him with a copy.

Washington is a "no-fault" state. Your spouses cooperation is not required for a divorce or separation. All you have to do is file your summons and petition for legal separation with the court and have someone other than yourself serve him with a copy.
