In WA State when one party files for Divorce. Does one person automaticaly get temporary custody of the child? Or is it optional for the person that files to ask for that? Please give only fact. I found out my wife files for divorce and I have not been served yet. So I do not know what the papers say. She told me nothing about getting an attorney and filing for divorce. We were suppose to be doing the papers together and had already worked out how custody was going to be shared. But this sneak attack?
