What changed
The Washington Court of Appeals affirmed the lower court's property division judgment without modification. The appellate panel found no reversible error in the Superior Court's handling of the marital estate division.
Affected parties include the divorced spouses and their legal counsel, who should note that appeals of similar domestic relations matters face a high bar for reversal under Washington appellate standards.
