Quote Reply i want to get this overwith now, there has been too much indecision on her part, is the 90 day limit only applied in King county? b/c a legal separation can be gotten within days i understand.  is there anyway around the 90 day period?  7/4/2006 5:01:52 PM admin 119 posts Re: what is the minimum time required? Quote Reply the time required is 90 days in all counties and there are no exceptions, at all. I have practiced family law for 9 years and never heard of one.  A legal separation can happen right away.  Also, it is 90 from the DATE OF SERVICE of the summons and petition for divorce/dissolution.  Service of process normally occurs at that time that the other party is directly handed the docs. or when they are dropped off at their house (note this is not a full explanation of service of process) This is a legal DISCUSSION board, legal discussion IS NOT legal advice.

Quote Reply NOTE: if she contests (or he) in many counties such as king, pierce and snohomish counties, you can not get into court for TRIAL for much longer than 90 days.  In king county everyone gets a case schedule that puts it out 11 months.  but if you can reach agreement it can be over in 90 days.
