The children from the previous marriage are not suject to this divorce. There is no custody as such in Washington. There is residential time and decision making authority. Each parent will get some time with the children. How much depends on a long list of criteria. At a minimum, speak with a lawyer to see what is reasonable to ask for in a parenting plan.

There is no such thing as full custody in Wa. state. One parent will be designated as the primary custodial parent and the other will have residential time with the child.
