Family Law & Divorce in Washington
Serving Clients in Bellevue and the Surrounding Area
Family law encompasses the rights and duties among married couples or domestic partners, husbands and wives, mothers and fathers and children. Many areas of family law invoke significant emotional distress and financial uncertainty. It is important for individuals to work with attorneys who are sensitive to the emotional nature of the representation and will assist each client to work through those difficulties.
Common family law issues include divorce, child custody, and adoption. Prenuptial agreements, paternity matters, and restraining orders also fall under the category of family law.
Because the topics addressed under family law are extremely personal and often impact multiple lives, it is critical to seek counsel from a qualified family law attorney for your case. Establishing a trusting relationship with your lawyer can help guide you to the best possible resolution.

Prenuptial agreements
These are documents a couple can draw up prior to getting married, which designate how their assets are to be distributed should the marriage fail.

Divorce
A Bellevue divorce lawyer at Gregorek and Associates, PLLC can assist you with handling divorce matters. As it is often a complex and emotional process, it is invaluable to have experienced divorce lawyers in Bellevue to help guide you through your divorce so you can pave the way for the future.
Child support
Child support is the ongoing payment for the financial needs of children of a relationship or marriage that has been terminated, or never existed.
Alimony
Under marriage, both parties are responsible for supporting one another financially. Alimony is the extension of the obligation to support after separation or divorce. The terms of alimony payments are decided by evaluating a whole host of factors that vary slightly from state to state.
Child custody and visitation
Following a divorce, the family court sets forth terms under which each parent is to take care of their children. These are often highly contested matters and it is important to have a qualified attorney assist you with protecting your rights and the best interests of your children.
Paternity matters
Paternity matters concern the genetic testing to determine who a child’s biological father is. Following this determination, the father’s legal responsibilities to the child can be determined.
Modifications
If changes are warranted between a divorced couple regarding child support payments, visitation rights, custody, or any other matter, they are referred to as modifications. If you feel the terms that exist between you and a former spouse warrant change, it is important to enlist the representation of a family lawyer.
