Washington State divorce law is complicated. It is more uncertain than certain, and commissioners and judges have extremely wide latitude to make rulings that are based not on specific formulas but on broad and overarching ideas such as "fair and equitable" and "in the best interests of the child".
Any experienced Washington State divorce attorney will tell you that two judges can look at the exact same set of facts and reach two entirely different results.
