Divorce Filing Process in Marysville
Marysville residents follow Washington State law when filing for dissolution under RCW Chapter 26.09. Washington is a no-fault state, meaning you don't need to prove anyone did anything wrong. The only ground for dissolution is that the marriage is irretrievably broken. One spouse states that and the court proceeds.
The residency rule under RCW 26.09.030 requires that at least one spouse be a Washington resident or a member of the armed forces stationed here. There's no minimum time you need to live in Snohomish County before filing. You can file as soon as you establish Washington residency.
The Snohomish County Courthouse Facilitator program helps self-represented litigants at no real cost beyond the $25 per visit fee. The facilitator is on the first floor of the Snohomish County Courthouse in Room 1-525. To make an appointment, call 425-388-3795 and leave a message. Walk-in hours are 1:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. weekdays. Phone hours for quick questions are 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. weekdays. Facilitators review forms, explain procedures, and calculate child support with income figures. They cannot give legal advice or represent anyone in court.
After the Petition for Dissolution is filed and the other spouse is served, there is a 90-day waiting period before the court can finalize the divorce. An agreed decree can be filed after that waiting period if both spouses agree on all terms. Contested cases may require hearings, mediation, and possibly a trial. Every document filed becomes part of the public case record.
Modification of a Snohomish County decree costs $56.00 to file. Modification of a decree from another county costs $310.00. Contact the Snohomish County Clerk for current fee information before filing any modification.
