Q: If my wife has filed some, but not all divorce papers, can we make amends to those already filed?
We now agree on certain provisions, and would like to change them ourselves.
A: Are either of you represented by an attorney? If not, and if your divorce is not yet final, you can modify some provisions, but you may benefit by an attorney's advice. Most Washington counties have county-wide bar associations, and most of those have websites. You can also call a local attorney to find out if there is a legal referral service in your area, You might also want to look at http://www.washingtonlawhelp.org/ which is a free resource with a lot of self-help resources.
