Some states use the phrase “irreconcilable differences” as legal grounds for obtaining a divorce. Washington State is different. When our legislature adopted the Marriage Dissolution Act in 1973, the intent was to remove fault from the legal proceedings to the fullest extent possible. Thus, the only grounds for dissolution of a marriage is that it be irretrievably broken.
Washington thus did away entirely with what had until then been the legal grounds for divorce: infidelity, cruelty, or abandonment. It is simply time to part company and seek a happier life. Let’s look at the dictionary definition of irretrievable. It means “impossible to regain or recover.” Divorce is not the end of the world … just the end of a chapter.
In the State of Washington we use this term rather than “no fault” although they essentially mean the same thing. Take a deep breath and make the call that you may have been putting off thinking that things would improve. Call Bellevue WA marriage dissolution attorney Lyle Clark. Attorney Clark will guide you through the process. His number is (425) 452-3092.
