from the Washington Divorce Laws page:
"Washington is considered a "Community Property" state. Community property is defined as all property and debt that was acquired from the date of marriage until the marital cut-off date. The community assets will be split equally by the Family Court if the spouses are unable to reach an agreement."

1) so, depts are split up equally?
2) what if I want to start a company, or work for my own (maybe under LLC): what do I have to do to shield my spouse from any harm?

Thanks!
