Family law issues in Seattle are governed by statute and interpreted by appellate courts. In Seattle, judges have wide latitude to interpret family law statutes. While this leeway can be beneficial in that it allows judges to bring their experience and common sense to a case, it can also make judicial decisions somewhat unpredictable. Washington Lawyers that practice in Seattle have experience working under the various judges in the King County Superior Court system.

For example, child custody issues in Seattle are governed by the "best interests of the child" standard, which can be interpreted very differently among judges. In addition, Seattle judges have wide discretion when awarding spousal maintenance awards, although they must take into consideration certain factors such as the parties' earnings and the duration of the marriage.
