Client Reviews
★★★★★
"My husband's attorney was aggressive and tried every tactic in the book. Molly was better — more prepared, calmer under pressure, and absolutely relentless. She protected my kids and my financial future."
★★★★★
"I was worried I'd lose significant custody time because of how things were framed early on. Molly pushed back with real evidence, a strong parenting plan, and arguments the court actually listened to. I have my kids half the time."
★★★★★
"I needed help fast. Molly's office moved quickly, got the protection order in place, and made sure my children were safe while the divorce proceeded. I can't thank them enough for how they handled an incredibly difficult time."

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a restraining order quickly in Washington?
Yes. Washington courts can issue temporary protection orders on an emergency basis — sometimes the same day — if there is credible evidence of domestic violence or immediate threat. The Law Offices of Molly B. Kenny can help you petition for emergency relief promptly.
What is the difference between legal separation and divorce in Washington?
Legal separation divides assets and establishes a parenting plan but leaves the marriage intact. Divorce ends the marriage entirely. Some people choose separation for religious, insurance, or financial reasons. Both require court proceedings and are handled similarly to a divorce.
How does Washington determine child custody?
Washington courts use the "best interests of the child" standard. Factors include each parent's relationship with the child, stability of each home, work schedules, geographic proximity, and the child's own preferences (for older children). The goal is a parenting plan that serves the child's welfare.
How much does divorce mediation cost compared to litigation?
Mediation is generally significantly less expensive. A full divorce through litigation can cost $15,000–$50,000 or more in attorney fees. Mediation with cooperative parties can often resolve matters for a fraction of that cost, though both parties typically still benefit from having their own attorney review any agreement.
