Understanding Fault
"Fault" in the context of divorce simply means that a spouse did something that caused the marriage to fail. Examples of fault include abuse or cruelty, adultery, abandonment, and imprisonment.
Washington: No-Fault State
Washington is a no-fault state, meaning parties do not need to claim any wrongdoing on the part of their spouse in order to file for divorce, and any actions like adultery will have no bearing on the outcome.
Idaho: Fault/No-Fault State
Idaho is a fault and no-fault state. That means that spouses don't need any reason beyond irreconcilable differences in order to divorce.
However, during a divorce, a spouse can claim that the other party committed adultery, neglect, abandonment, or acts of extreme cruelty, which can have a bearing on alimony and child custody.
Keep in mind that allegations of fault by the other spouse must be proven in order for them to influence any aspect of the divorce.

Child Custody
When it comes to child custody, the best interests of the children are always the guiding principle. Our lawyer can help you reach an agreement that works for all members of your family.
Child Support
Our attorney can help achieve a child support agreement that meets the children's needs but is also realistic within the paying parent's means. Mr. Partovi can also help achieve adjustments as needed.
Spousal Support
Divorce isn't supposed to leave either spouse destitute. If you haven't been working out of the home, or earn substantially less than your spouse, maintenance payments may be appropriate.
Visitation and Parenting Plans
How much time should the children spend with each parent, and when? Our lawyer can help you establish a plan that reflects your family's unique needs.
Property Division
Our Spokane-based lawyer has the legal and financial knowledge required to help you manage this often contentious area of the divorce process.
Restraining Orders
In contentious separations, protection orders may come into play. Attorney David Partovi can help you secure a restraining order to protect yourself and your children, or he can help you appeal an unjust order.
Domestic Violence Defense
Some spouses will make false accusations of domestic violence to gain the upper hand in divorce negotiations. In addition to family law, David Partovi practices criminal defense law. He'll use his knowledge to protect your rights.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a divorce lawyer cost?
Having a divorce attorney like David Partovi on your side can be an incredible asset that can actually save you money over time by making sure arrangements like spousal support are fair. Attorney fees range from $5,000 to $20,000, depending on the complexity of your case. Our consultations are free, and once you sit down and discuss your case, we will be able to give you a more accurate estimate of your costs.
How long does a divorce take?
This varies with each case. Straightforward, uncontested cases will move much faster than complex or contested cases. It is also important to remember that court schedules are based on availability. While you may have an uncontested divorce, your court date may be weeks in the future, depending on the judge's caseload.
What does "uncontested" mean?
"Uncontested" simply means both parties agree to the terms of the divorce and there are no disagreements with the terms. If one or both parties cannot agree, then it becomes a contested divorce that is likely to take longer. Family law attorney David Partovi can handle both uncontested and contested to ensure your best interests are met.
