How custody works in Washington

Washington uses 'parenting plans' instead of custody orders and encourages parents to agree on residential schedules and decision-making arrangements.

Washington does not use the term 'custody' — instead, every case requires a Parenting Plan filed in Superior Court that covers residential time schedules and decision-making authority. Both parents must complete a mandatory parenting seminar within 60 days of service under RCW 26.12.172. If parents cannot agree, each must file a proposed permanent parenting plan. The court enters a final plan by applying the factors in RCW 26.09.187, with the child's existing relationship with each parent weighted most heavily.

Cases from Spokane are filed in Spokane County and heard in the Spokane County Superior Court, Family Law Division. The court that hears your case is determined by where the children have been living, not by where either parent works.

Civly is not a law firm and this page is not legal advice. Custody law and the rules of evidence vary from state to state, and individual judges apply them differently. For advice about your own case, speak to a family law attorney licensed in Washington. Civly launched in 2026 and is not named in many court orders yet — if your order already requires a specific platform, keep using it and ask your attorney before switching.
