Dividing Property

When You Were Never Married

Washington does not automatically divide property for unmarried couples. There is no common law marriage here, but courts may still recognize a committed intimate relationship and divide property fairly between partners who were never married.

Dellino Family Law Group helps clients navigate:

  • Committed Intimate Relationship Claims: Whether your relationship meets Washington's legal test, and what that means for your property.
  • Property and Debt Division: Homes, businesses, retirement accounts, and other assets or debt acquired together.
  • Cohabitation Agreements: Your rights if you never signed one, and how to protect yourself going forward.

Washington courts look closely at how long you lived together, whether you pooled finances, and the intent behind your relationship. We believe you deserve more than a lawyer who simply handles paperwork. Schedule your confidential consultation with Dellino Family Law Group today.
