Updated 5 questions in WA custody

December 2020

Based on changes in the law, we updated five questions in the Washington Custody section. The changes reflect that there is no longer a non-parent custody section in the law, but rather a non-parent could apply for guardianship under the state’s probate law. Changes were made in English, Spanish coming soon!
