Modifications

Agreements regarding support, custody and/or parenting time/visitation are constructed at specific times in a person's life and although appropriate at the time of execution, circumstances in life change.  Southern Oregon Family Law is here to provide counsel and advocacy in navigating your options in the fact of change.

Sometimes a family member such as an adult child, spouse, parent or other relative can no longer make decisions for themselves regarding their health, safety or finances.  In such instances, a full or partial Guardianship and/or Conservatorship may be necessary.  Southern Oregon Family Law provides counsel and advocacy to protect your family and ensure the safety, health and best interests of its loved ones.
