Child support is derived from both parents incomes and then split based on the percentage each earned so he'll be paying...next, alimony, she could likely get support for that for a while. 18 years of paying child support, I know what is and what is BS:) Make sure she doesn't sign anything unless HER attorney specifies to! My attorney got appointed as a judge in Mason County, he was THE best in either county (Goodell).

Angela with Lindsay & Lindsay in Port Orchard is amazing!
Catie J. replied:
The biggest thing to look at when picking an attorney is that they primarily do family law. Matt Clucas has been great for me. EVERY case is different and trust me it will not always go how you want. You can get spousal support and it usually is about 1 year for every 3 you were married but again every situation is different.
Above is true. Even if both parties agree to no child support exchange, if the judge sees fit there will be support. Just went through this in December. Try Williamson Law. Amanda Williams and January are amazing.

Frannie Turean is in Seattle and amazing. Best part is that my ex and I get along great and our children are happy. You will need about $5K to retain but worth it.
Alicia L. replied:
I'd recommend John Andrews, he's in Bremerton off Kitsap way. 360-377-7691. I worked for him for 10 years and he's a fair and reasonable attorney. You'll probably be looking at 1,500-2,000 to start and the overall cost of a divorce depends upon how much you guys have to fight about. Dave Jones is good too. Good luck!

Jessie E. replied:
Kathleen Schultz or Scott Kalkwarf. Both are excellent and professional. I have worked wuth both of them. Also within walking distance of the court (you usually pay a lawyer for his drive to and from the office for court, and for every time he submits copies for court record). Both lawyers also have a fair retainers fee conpared to other lawyers.

Caroline Campbell law offices. She swung an impossible case for me. My ex was let off by wa after committing sex offenses to minors. He was told after three years it would be deferred and his psychosexual eval would be protected by heppa laws. Preventing me from using it in court. He's a dangerous man who can charm and persuade anyone. Long story short I never turned him in for rape, attempt kidnapping, DMV. Caroline still helped me make him and his attorney trip over them selves in court. She's knows her laws and what she doesn't know she researches madly. She took time to listen to my roller coaster of PTSD. She kind and saw right through my ex. She's out of gig harbor but worth it. Worth it all. Three years later my daughter will never be a victim to him again. Something wa state denied us by letting his multiple offenses go. He basically shot himself in the foot multiple times. But it wouldn't be possible without the swift Caroline.

Don't go to Charlie Shane. Kathleen Shultz was my ex's lawyer. She was a pain in my ass and made me wish I had hired her and not the ass hat I did hurt (Charlie). I fired Charlie and hired David Jones. He's been great too.

Reesa S. replied:
It all depends on the family attorney you employ - hourly rates and retainers tend to vary based upon the work needing to be done, the type of case, etc. If Kitsap Legal Resources is not working out for you, start reaching out to individual firms in the area. There are attorneys that will talk to you over the phone to get an idea of your case and will not charge you a consulation until you actually come in to meet with them. I cannot speak for all firms, however. Jeffrey Cox is a family law attorney at Shiers Law Firm, which is located in downtown Port Orchard. I would recommend contacting him.

I did way better without a lawyer. The one I had fucked shit up. I went through the northwest justice system and got David Gates, but he's a crook.

Sally Olson is the worst judge I have ever met.. she has morals if she did she would have seen a mother just making sure her son was being treated correctly...
Michael C. replied:
Sorry your dealing with this shit. David Gates was my attorney for a while, he is not a strong attorney. Sally Olson was the judge for my trial and not fair. Your best bet would be to try to get judge lowans. I personally know that your dealing with Zahra and her crafty lies not andrew. I wish I could help, if I can help let me know. Id bring up the fact andrews name is on the business for the pot shop on Bainbridge. Zahra is still technically still married to gerald and that seams to be never-ending. During my divorce Zahra had M claim she was on food stamps and was living out of her car… I proved that to be lies. In court its all about what you can prove. good luck
