The difficulty often comes in knowing how to properly prepare the forms and in following certain critical procedural rules. Additionally, the real problems often stem from the parties not agreeing to or deciding on the actual terms of the divorce.
The divorce process itself is initiated when one of the parties files a Petition for Dissolution. This is generally in the county in which that person resides. In King County, the filing party is also required to designate whether or not the case should be heard in Seattle or in Kent.
