Petition For Legal Separation Marriage {203}

FL Divorce 203 - PETITION FOR LEGAL SEPARATION (MARRIAGE). This form is used in the state of Washington when a spouse (the petitioner) seeks a legal separation from their partner (the respondent) rather than a divorce. The form provides the court with essential details regarding the marriage, living arrangements, children, property, debts, and other related matters. The petitioner uses this document to request that the court legally acknowledge the separation, establish terms for child support and custody (if applicable), divide property and debts, and, potentially, determine spousal support. Legal separation can include restraining orders, protection orders, and name changes, similar to divorce proceedings but without formally dissolving the marriage.
