Divorce

Domestic matters including divorce, separation, child custody/support and parenting time issues can be difficult for any family to experience. Grua, Jamo & Young provides caring and experienced legal help when it is needed most to minimize conflict and yet provide their clients all they are legally and fairly entitle to receive.

Child Support

Whenever a marriage ends in divorce and the parties have minor children, child support obligations can be substantial. While the law requires the family court to follow support guidelines, there can be factors related to income, expenses and custody that have an impact on what amount the court determines is appropriate for a party to pay in child support. If you question the appropriateness of your child's support award or your support calculation has not been reviewed recently and there has occurred a change in income or child care expenses, Grua, Jamo & Young can immediately calculate what the court would order in a revised support obligation and make a recommendation concerning whether a Petition to modify a support obligation should be filed. Grua, Jamo & Young can also assist parties in drafting agreements concerning support where parties are in agreement concerning a support modification.

Custody

When confronted with a divorce, separation, or post judgment matter involving custody of minor children, Grua, Jamo & Young provides for its clients without regard to gender experienced representation, advocating for what is truly in the best interest of their clients' children. Along with legal counsel, other outside support resources including therapists, counselors, spiritual advisors and psychologists can be involved to assist the client's family through a difficult life transition.

Guardianship

At some point it may become necessary for you to consider setting up a guardianship or conservatorship for a loved one. Grua, Jamo & Young can help you through this time whether you are dealing with a minor, legally incapacitate person, or developmentally disabled person.

Conservator

When a minor or incapacitated adult requires assistance with their financial affairs, that person may need a court appointed Conservator. Grua, Jamo & Young can help you navigate the legal rules of appointment. We can also assist you with the annual accounting, with the rules which control spending the minor and or any special circumstances that require the Conservator to withdraw funds for the ward.
