Non-Parental Custody Alert

Final orders in Non-Parental Custody cases: As of January 1, 2021, any final orders will remain in full force and effect, but after that date any changes will need to be made under the new statute for Minor Guardianships: RCW 11.130.185 to RCW 11.130.260. 

Pending Non-Parental Custody cases: Pending matters are those matters that have filed, but final orders have not been entered. Any pending cases filed under RCW 26.10 by December 31, 2021 must be resolved by June 30, 2021.  Cases may be resolved by the entry of default orders, if appropriate, the entry of agreed orders with all parties, or by trial. Pending Non-Parental Custody cases may also be converted to Minor Guardianships.
