We all hear this from time to time, something like “we
pretty much have everything worked out" or "we just need some help to
finish the process." At Mason Law, they hope this is true, and if it is,
then Mason Law is happy to facilitate final documents.
Often, however, one spouse, relying on unenforceable
statements of the other spouse, signed away property to the other, or allowed
the other to take large account with significant funds in it, as “their half,”
and now that spouse suddenly wants more of what remains.
Or, worse, the spouse making false promises does the same
thing regarding child support or parenting arrangements, and your early
agreements now put you at a disadvantage.
Worst of all, men appear belatedly at a law office, who have
completed their own divorce, with final documents; and they gave away all
equity to their home in lieu of having no child support. Having been served
with a modification of child support, then they learn that a promise not to pay
child support is unenforceable as against public policy. Having given away his assets, this ex-husband
now faces a post-divorce demand for child support.
There are ways to protect agreements, even equity for child
support agreements, but proper legal steps must be taken. Mason Law has long
helped Spokane area residents navigate through the formalities and technicalities
of divorce law in the State of Washington.
