SUBJECT:   2004 SUMMARY OF CHANGES TO DOMESTIC RELATIONS FORMS

COUNTY CLERKS:  Please mail any reports you receive from litigants to the Administrative Office of the Courts at:  P.O. Box 41170, Olympia, WA  98504-1170. 

 

The Summary Report Form in this packet contains the following update from the previous version of the form:  on lines 10.a and 10.b, update the Worksheet page and line references from “…Page 2, Line 13” to “…Page 3, Line 15”.
