Of course you can use an attorney. However, if you can't afford one and need to file on your own, here is a good place to start: http://www.courts.wa.gov/forms/?fa=forms.contribute&formID=13

If you're income eligible you might be able to use Legal Aid or ask if they know of an organization that you can turn to for help.
