Washington State Bar Association

A one-volume indispensable reference on community property law in Washington covers all substantive developments in Washington community property law including registered domestic partnerships, same-sex marriage, and the law of committed intimate relationships through the U.S. Supreme Court's June 2013 decision on Section 3 of the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).

This three-volume best-selling deskbook offers comprehensive treatment of every aspect of a family law case, from retainer agreements to the finality of decrees, with practice tips from leading practitioners, judges, and court commissioners. Chapter 10 on Marriage was revised in 2014 to include discussion of the law of same-sex marriage in Washington, nationally, and internationally; a list of Internet-available resources for keeping abreast of this fast-developing field; and advice for practitioners counseling same-sex couples.
